Applicant Information

General Information

Through the combined efforts of a nationally recognized faculty and exemplary staff, we provide personal attention to each of our residents and resident applicants.

We require an application through ERAS. ERAS is a service that transmits applications, letters of recommendation (LoRs), Medical Student Performance Evaluations (MSPEs), medical school transcripts, USMLE transcripts, COMLEX transcripts, and other supporting credentials from you and your designated dean's office to program directors using the Internet. ERAS consists of MyERAS (the Web site where you create your application), the Dean's Office Workstation (DWS), the Program Director's Workstation (PDWS), and the ERAS PostOffice. To learn more information, please visit: http://www.aamc.org/students/eras/about/start.htm

We require a minimum USMLE score of 220 and three letters of recommendation. There is no requirement regarding length of time since medical school graduation.

For information on applying to our program, or to obtain the proper forms, contact Program Coordinator Melanie Zandvoort at (585) 275-7944 or melanie_zandvoort@urmc.rochester.edu.
