Screening Policies

Due to the high volume of applicants and limited interview availability, applications are reviewed by the Residency Director, Associate/Assistant Residency Directors, and selected EM faculty. Every component of your application is considered, including licensing exam scores, letters of recommendation, transcripts, MSPEs, personal statement, and details within ResidencyCAS.

We are committed to a fair, holistic review process and do not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, disability, or veteran status.

Applicants who have completed, or are currently enrolled in an approved GME program may have funding considerations reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
