We participate in the National Resident Match Program (NRMP) and offer two major tracks:

Important Points:

• All allopathic candidates must apply through ERAS; osteopathic candidates should apply through the AOA match process

• The acceptable minimum USMLE (two-digit) score is 80; almost all interviewed applicants have passed each USMLE Step on the first attempt and have already completed/passed Step II CS
• Graduation from medical school should not exceed 5 years unless a candidate is exceptional and has ample U.S. clinical experience
• IMG's who are permanent residents, U.S. citizens or EAD are welcome to apply
• Both USMLE and COMLEX scores are acceptable
• We participate in both the NRMP and the AOA match
• The interview season begins November 1 and ends January 31
• Applications are accepted through December 31
• ECFMG certificates, when appropriate, must be current prior to match
• Prior U.S. clinical experience is strongly preferred
• Interviews are scheduled and communication is normally via email
