Application Review Process
Applications are reviewed on a holistic basis by our selection committee. During the process of reviewing applications, we blind sex, self-identification, and photos to limit unconscious bias. We simply look for applicants who fit with the mission and values of UMEM.
Interview Process for Combined EM/IM Program Applicants
Combined Emergency Medicine/Internal Medicine applicants will interview on a single day with the EM/IM program faculty. After interviewing for the combined program, you may also rank our categorical EM program separately.
If you have been granted an interview for one of the combined programs, you will be automatically considered for our categorical program. You do not need to schedule an additional interview, and can rank BOTH programs if you wish.
A Note on International Medical School Graduates
We welcome applications from graduates of medical schools outside the United States. In addition to meeting all other application requirements, international medical school graduates must also be certified by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG).
While J1 visas may be sponsored by our institution on a case-by-case basis, our program prefers not to sponsor visas. Preference given to those that have completed a transitional year of clinical experience in the United States.
