FAQ

What is your application deadline?

The application deadline for PGY1 positions filled through the NRMP Match is NOVEMBER 30, 2024.


What are the USMLE/COMLEX requirements?

We require an USMLE/COMLEX transcript be submitted as part of your application to be considered for interview selection. We have no preference between USMLE or COMLEX and will utilize the higher of the two scores when presented both. Passing the boards is a prerequisite for application, and overall board scores will be factored into the interview selection process.

Our program considers examination scores in conjunction with other criteria such as course grades and faculty evaluations, rather than using test scores as the sole basis for interview decisions. Test scores are viewed as approximate rather than exact measures of medical knowledge.


What are graduation date requirements?

For our PGY1 class, we prefer candidates currently in their fourth year of medical school or within 36-months of graduation.
