All application materials must be submitted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). We only accept applications through ERAS for PGY1 positions. Applications will not be accepted via fax, mail or email. We currently match 12 PGY1 positions. Application to our residency program will be highly competitive. 

Our Emergency Medicine residency program is accredited by the American Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). We participate in the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP).

Key items that we look for in candidates:

  • Excellent oral and written communication skills
  • Passing score on USMLE Step 1 at time of application
  • Dean's letter
  • Medical school transcript
  • One eSLOE is required to obtain an interview; generally 2 eSLOEs are required to be considered for the rank list/successfully match
  • Graduation from medical school within the previous five years

For international graduates:

  • At least six months of direct patient-care experience in the U.S., Canadian or British systems
  • ECFMG certification if applicable
  • J-1 visas are sponsored (not H-1)

Should any openings arise during the academic year, they will be posted on the SAEM Residency Vacancy Service.
