How to Apply

We have a total of 14 available spots in our program:

• 5 for the urban/ECMC track
• 5 for the suburban track
• 4 for the urban/BGH track
• 2 for the rural track

We receive more than 2,000 applications annually.

To apply, you must be a U.S. citizen who has:

• graduated from medical school within the past five years
• not retaken either step one or two of the USMLE more than once
  
• passed the Clinical Skills Exam on your first attempt
• six months’ inpatient or outpatient clinical experience in the U.S., Canada or Great Britain if you attended medical school outside any of those countries (excluding the Caribbean)

If you’re an international medical graduate, you must have a certificate from the Education Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) to be hired as a resident in our program.

If you’re not a U.S. citizen, you must be eligible to obtain a J-1 visa.

The time frame for applications and interviews follows that established by the National Resident Matching Program.

Each of our program tracks has a separate match number. You may rank each of our tracks separately.

You may submit your application as soon as ERAS allows. We encourage early submissions.

You must include with your completed ERAS application:

• an official medical school transcript
• your dean’s letter
  
• three additional letters of recommendation, preferably from at least one family medicine physician, as well as other faculty who have worked with you directly and can comment on your clinical knowledge, judgment and interpersonal skills
  
• a current curriculum vitae
• your USMLE scores
• your ECFMG certification (if applicable)

If our residency committee selects your application, you’ll receive an email to set up an interview. Three faculty members will interview you. During your visit, you’ll also tour all of our clinical training sites.

We interview candidates from late October through mid-January.
