We embrace diversity in all its forms, including race, ethnicity, disability, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression.  See our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion statement on the OBGYN Department page

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 USMLE/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.
