Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Minimum USMLE Scores:

We have no minimum USMLE score requirements though more robust scores do strengthen an application. We do not consider applicants who do not pass Step I or II on the first attempt.

Doctor of Osteopathic (D.O.) Applicants:

D.O. applicants are required to submit UMSLE scores in addition to COMLEX scores.

International Medical Graduate requirements:

We have no additional policies regarding the selection of IMGs for our residency training program. Once minimum application requirements have been met, we consider every applicant's merits and weigh them accordingly.

• Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) certificate
