Application Information
The MUSC Family Medicine Residency Program serves as a national leader in
Family Medicine and provides well-trained physicians to needed communities.
Application Process
We use the ERAS System to receive applications. For your application to be
complete, it must contain the following:
- Dean's Letter
- Transcript
- Minimum USMLE Step 2 CK score of 220 or COMLEX 2 score of 450
- 3 letters of recommendation
The Resident Selection Committee screens the completed applications and invites
applicants for an interview. Prompt invitations to interview will be offered in the
following order:
- Applicants indicating a program signal
- Applicants of US medical schools indicating a geographic signal
- Applicants of non-US medical schools indicating a geographic signal
Applications that are delayed or do not contain a program or geographic signal will not
be considered. Additionally, we do not consider applicants who are greater than 3 years
removed from medical school graduation or clinical practice.
Interview & Selection Process
Interviews will be virtual. For students who wish to visit the area, we are happy to
facilitate tours of our facilities and time with our current residents during your time in
Orangeburg.
Our interviewing process is designed to make the selection process a fair and enriching
experience. Interviewers are provided the information stated in the application and
impressions are recorded by each interviewer. In January, these reports and the
required information are studied carefully by the Resident Selection Committee and
used to rank applicants for the National Resident Matching Program.
Please note that we perform holistic review on all applications. As such, our application
review process takes extensive time and offers for interviews may be delayed. Please do
not interpret a delay in extension of an interview offer as a lack of interest, but instead
as a commitment to our holistic review process. All applications are generally reviewed
within 3 weeks of submission.
The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) developed ERAS®-the Electronic
Residency Application Service, to transmit residency applications, letters of
recommendation, Dean's Letters, transcripts, and other supporting credentials from
applicants and medical schools to residency program directors using the Internet. For
more information, please visit the ERAS website.
