Welcome to our overview page for Internal Medicine Applicants. We welcome your interest in our program and look forward to sharing our vibrant program with you during the interview season. Here you will find details of the application requirements and the process to apply for our department. 

To be eligible for selection, applicants must apply via the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) by December 1 and must enroll in the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP). No applications are accepted or reviewed outside of these sites.

  • CAMC Internal Medicine residency program will use signals as a sign of interest when allocating interview invitations. 
  • Signals will not be used for rank list decision-making.
  • All applicants should signal the program if interested. This includes students who may have done visiting rotations at CAMC or students from CAMC-affiliated medical schools. 
  • Due to high volume of applications, we are very unlikely to extend interview offers to applicants who do not signal our program. This may happen only if we have interview slots after completing a holistic review of all signaled applications. 

 

All applicants must have a complete ERAS application including:

  • Three letters of recommendation
  • CV
  • Personal statement
  • Standard Dean's Letter 
  • US clinical experience (see details below)
  • Photograph for identification purposes at interview
  • Medical school transcript

 

All allopathic applicants must have proof of passing scores on USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK, with a Step 2 CK minimum score of 220 strongly encouraged. If you are an osteopathic applicant, we request a minimum passing score of 480 on the COMLEX Level 2 exam and that you pass on your first attempt. Categorical residents should have passed board exams on first attempt. 

All applicants should be within five years of graduation from medical school at the time of Match. Exceptions may be considered for applicants actively involved in post-graduate training or clinical practice. 

Our institution sponsors J-1 visas. 

International Medical Graduates (IMGs) must provide proof of ECFMG eligibility for a J-1 visa by the time of ranking in the NRMP.

All IMG applicants are encouraged to have a minimum of three months of US clinical experience. This is NOT a requirement, but is highly recommended. 

Selection for interview is based on all of the following: assignment of program signals, performance on USMLE/COMLEX, grades in preclinical or clinical courses, letters of recommendation and personal qualities described in the applicant's writing. 

Our Department and institution, does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, age, religion, color, national origin, disability, sexual orientation or veteran status.

We encourage the submission of applications earlier during the recruitment cycle as interview spots are limited and fill quickly. Interviews will be conducted from October to December. 

Interviews will only be granted after review of completed applications.

Please note due to the volume of applications we receive annually; we are unable to respond to application status inquiries. We greatly appreciate your interest in our program and will send out all communication regarding interviews via the ERAS messaging system.
