FAQ

What is your application deadline?

The application deadline for PGY1 positions filled through the NRMP Match is October 9.


What are the USMLE/COMLEX requirements?

We require an USMLE/COMLEX transcript be submitted as part of your application to be considered for interview selection. We have no preference between USMLE or COMLEX and will utilize the higher of the two scores when presented both. See below for more specific information on each step/level:

  • USMLE/COMLEX 1: Prefer passage by the second attempt
  • USMLE/COMLEX 2: USMLE cutoff range is 220; COMLEX is 460

Our program considers examination scores in conjunction with other criteria such as course grades and faculty evaluations, rather than using test scores as the sole basis for interview decisions. Test scores are viewed as approximate rather than exact measures of medical knowledge, and therefore, the range noted above is presented as a ballpark for eligibility.

For our PGY1 class, we prefer candidates currently in their fourth year of medical school or within five years of graduation or additional residency/medical training.
