How to Apply

We accept three residents per year.

To apply, you must have:

• graduated from medical school within the past five years (date of graduation to date of matriculation)
• not retaken either step one or two of the USMLE more than once 
• 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, including at least one authored by a 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
  
• personal statement that includes your committment to rural primary care 
• a current curriculum vitae
• your USMLE report 
• your ECFMG certification (if applicable)

If our residency committee selects your application, you’ll receive an email to set up an interview. We aim to have you meet with each of our core faculty, but when that is not possible, a minimum of three core faculty members will interview you.

Virtual Interviews: we will be offering virtual interviews at this time. While we would prefer to meet every candidate in person and have the opportunity to introduce you to our community and all the amenities we have to offer here, we offer virtual interviews to ensure our recruitment processes are completed with the safety and finanical health of our candidates as priorities.   

We interview candidates from late October through early January.
