Residency Application Process

Applications to the Upstate Emergency Medicine Residency Program are accepted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).

 

All interviews will be conducted virtually.

Deadline

  • The application deadline is October 21st—applications are only accepted through ERAS.

Requirements

  • Medical school transcripts
  • Dean's Letter
  • Board scores - Applicants must have USMLE Step 1/COMLEX 1 done at the time application is submitted. Step 2/COMLEX 2 must be passed by the time residency begins. There are no minimum scores or attempt limits for taking these exams, but if all other factors are equal, board scores may determine if an applicant receives an interview invitation.
  • Letters of Recommendation - A minimum of three letters of recommendation are required. ERAS allows up to four to be uploaded. At least ONE in SLOE format is strongly recommended. We understand that current restrictions may make this impossible for some and exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
