Admission Requirements
Thank you for your interest in the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine (VTCSOM) Psychiatry residency program (Program #4005121267). Each year we have many inquiries about the application and selection process for our residency program. The following information will broadly address the most frequently asked questions that our team encounters:
We usually take 8-10 psychiatry residents each year.
We offer J-1 visas only. Legal fees for visas are the responsibility of the candidate.
Applying through ERAS is our preferred application method. We review each ERAS application as it comes through. The deadline to apply is Dec. 31 each year.
We consider a combination of factors in each application:
USMLE and/or COMLEX scores*
Professional experience and interests
Letters of recommendation
For IMGs - U.S. experience and letters are preferred
We do not offer observerships, internships, externships, or research fellowships.
We have posted all information regarding our Psychiatry residency training program application requirements and process on our program website. Unfortunately, due to the volume of inquiries, we cannot personally respond to your requests for this information via any other source. We look forward to reviewing your ERAS application.
