Applicant Selection Procedures and Requirements – 2023-24

We are offering 10 categorical positions for the 2023 match.

We will be conducting interviews virtually via Zoom.

Applications will be reviewed when all required documents (see below) have been received, beginning on September 15th. Interviews will take place from October 24th, 2022 through January 13th 2023.

The deadline for submitting a completed application is December 9, 2022.

Preference will be given to U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents.

For those who require a training visa, we sponsor only the J1 visa, no exceptions.

Step 2 score (CS and CK) is required for applicants who have already graduated from medical school and applicants currently enrolled in a non-U.S. medical school. We will review applications and offer interviews to current U.S. medical students without a Step 2 score; however, a passing score for Step 2 CS and CK must be on file in order to be considered for our rank order list.

Preferred candidates would be those who have graduated no longer than five (5) years prior to application date (2017).
