Emergency Medicine Residency Application Process

 

In order for an application to be considered complete, during the 2023 Recruitment Season: at least two (2) of your letters should be a Standardized Letter of Evaluation (SLOE), from your home institution & an Away rotation.  Any additional letter(s), including from Emergency Medicine Physicians, you'd like to add to your application will be considered. Only the two (2) SLOEs will be mandatory, however.

We have registered our Emergency Medicine Residency Program with the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). This service uses the internet to transmit residency applications, letters of recommendation, Dean's letters, transcripts, and other supporting credentials from medical schools to Residency Program Directors. We encourage you to use the ERAS Student Workstation software provided by your Medical School.

You will complete an application and program designation list on a Student Workstation data storage device. You then deliver this data storage device to your Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, or other designated Dean's Office. At the Dean's Office, the completed electronic application and designation list are uploaded to the Dean's Office Workstation and joined with your transcripts, Dean's letter, and recommendations in an electronic file. Software at the Dean's Office Workstation transmits the files for the programs designated by you to the electronic ERAS Post Office, which then reroutes the applications to the Residency Programs of your choice.

Application Requirements:

• ERAS Common Application Form
• Medical School Performance Evaluation (MSPE)
• Medical School Transcript
• In order for an application to be considered complete, during the 2023 Recruitment Season: at least two (2) of your letters should be a Standardized Letter of Evaluation (SLOE).  Any additional letter(s), including from Emergency Medicine Physicians, you'd like to add to your application will be considered.

The USMLE program views this change as an important first step toward facilitating broader, system-wide changes to improve the transition from undergraduate to graduate medical education.’
