I prefer not to list my credentials. I don't think it helps in anyway to list your credentials. As long as you meet their criteria, and there is only one criteria that I do not meet referring to LORs as they want them to be all from FM's or primary care.

All applicants to our program must be either a U.S. citizen or have permanent resident of the United States status at the time of applying to our program. As you do not meet these criteria, we will not be screening your application.
Please note, EADs cannot be substituted for U.S. Citizenship or U.S. permanent resident status.

The "Minimum Requirements" listed below must be met before applicants can be considered for an interview spot.
In reviewing your application, we find you have not met one or more of the following criteria:
- For IMGs: Documentation of one FULL year of U.S. Clinical (hands on) experience at the time of application and under the direct supervision of a U.S. licensed physician. Depending on letters of reference from your attendings (in particular your family medicine attending) during your U.S. experience, we may consider some flexibility with the year of U.S. clinical experience. This will, however, require solid documentation of both inpatient and outpatient experience from your U.S. attendings.
- Passing USMLE or COMLEX Scores. There are no minimum score requirements, but we do look for one attempt). Applications with more than two attempts for Step 1 and Step 2 CK will not be considered.
- Passing Standardized Patient Evaluation Exam Scores (Step 2 CS) - First attempt is mandatory.
- Have been out of Medical School for no more than 4 years
- A Personal Statement (2 page maximum)
- A Curriculum Vitae
- Official Transcript
- Dean's Letter (or equivalent)
- 3 Recommendation Letters (REQUIRED: At least 1 LOR from a family physician)
We do not sponsor any visas (funding or initiating paperwork) but we will accept a J1 visa sponsored by the ECFMG.
Regretfully, we will not be extending an invitation to you. We wish you every success in matching with a program that will meet your expectations for a successful residency experience.
