Do you have a USMLE Score Minimum?
We prefer scores >215, but we do not have an absolute cutoff. Applicants who have previous failures on the USMLE are generally less likely to successfully match in our program. Completion of Step 2 is preferred. All applications are thorougly reviewed and one score will not filter an application out.
Do you have a medical school graduation cut off?
Applicants who graduated more than 5 years ago are generally less likely to successfully match in our residency program.
Do you require U.S. Clinical Experience?
U.S. clinical experience is not an absolute requirement, however it is highly encouraged.
