Application Requirements and Materials

We encourage applicants with a local connection to consider including information in your personal statement. We know residents excel when they are supported by family and friends.

While the program does not require a minimum United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) or Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX ) score for consideration, we do prefer applicants who have passed their exams on the first attempt. For Osteopathic students, USMLE exams are not required but strongly encouraged.

  • USMLE Step1 /COMLEX Level 1*
