We participate in the NRMP program for medical student applicants and support the timetable set forth by the AAMC for application to residencies. We have ten categorical residency training positions available per year to medical students through the match. We accept applications only through the Electronic Residency Applications Service (ERAS).

Documents needed for a complete application file:

• Completed NRMB application form
• Medical school dean's letter
• Medical school transcript
• Three (3) letters of reference, including one from an emergency medicine physician
• Letter from current chair/director if enrolled in another residency

Once the complete application is received, the residency selection committee will review it and interviews will be granted by invitation. These interviews will occur on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from mid November to late January. The application deadline is November 30th.
