  1. Completed ERAS application
    • Our program does NOT participate in the ERAS signaling program. We recommend that applicants use the expanded ERAS abilities to describe experiences and impactful life events in both your personal life and professional career. We encourage applicants to use the features to their fullest as we realize that every applicant’s situation is unique.
  2. Three required letters of recommendation; with option for up to 1 more
    • One letter from the Chair of Medicine at your medical school (or Chair's designate) – i.e. the Chair’s Letter
    • Two letters from faculty who have worked with you. One of these should be an internal medicine faculty who has supervised you clinically.
    • Feel free to upload one additional letter (i.e. 4 total) from clinical faculty (from any field) and/or a scholarly project mentor, but this is not required.
  3. Dean's letter (aka Medical Student Performance Evaluation)
  4. USMLE scores or COMLEX scores (Step 1, Step 2 and Step 3 are required). To be eligible for an interview, we require all  scores before the rank list due date 
  5. Personal statement. This should not be AI generated, as we want to read your own thoughts and words.
