Residency Application
Each year, the Triple Board Residency Program offers PGY-1 positions. All positions are filled through the National Resident Matching Program and applications are accepted only through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS)®, which transmits residency applications, letters of recommendation, Dean's Letters, transcripts, and other supporting credentials to residency program directors using the Internet. Applications must be received by the Residency Training Office by December 15 of the year prior to the scheduled starting of PGY-1 year.
Required application materials to be submitted to ERAS® include:
- ERAS® online application form
- Personal Statement (please limit to one page)
- Dean's letter
- Medical school transcript
- Three letters of recommendation
- Curriculum vitae
- USMLE score reports
- ECFMG certificate, if applicable
International Medical Graduate Requirements
Applications will only be accepted through ERAS®. International Medical Graduates should apply through the ECFMG office - see instructions at http://www.aamc.org or contact the ECFMG office for further information.
In general, most of the International Medical Graduates we interview meet the following requirements.
- Green card, J-1 Visa (not sponsored) or documentation of U.S. citizenship
- Valid ECFMG certificate with Clinical Skills Assessment certification
- Evidence of a minimum of one year of clinical experience in the United States including two letters of recommendation from academic physicians with whom you have worked.
Interview Process
We conduct two-day interviews on Tuesdays and Wednesdays or Wednesdays and Thursdays, with one day each for pediatrics and the psychiatry programs. Interviews are scheduled from November 1, 2011 through February 8, 2012. We encourage early interviews as the calendar fills up quickly, particularly during December and January. We arrange for nearby complimentary hotel accommodations for 2 nights.
