Emory's program is both rigorous and competitive.
Each year we receive more than 3000 applications
and interview 10-15% of candidates.
We offer approximately 50 three-year positions (Categorical and Primary Care), 4 Research Pathway positions (which require application to the Categorical Program) and approximately 30 one-year
positions (Preliminary and Transitional). The
Preliminary one-year positions are primarily
reserved for applicants matching in Emory’s
Radiation Oncology residency.
The Transitional one-year positions are primarily
reserved for applicants matching in Emory residencies
such as (but not limited too) Anesthesiology, Radiology, Neurology, Ophthalmology
and Dermatology.
We no longer have a Med/Peds or Med/NucMed program.
We accept applications through ERAS (http://www.aamc.org/audienceeras.htm)
ONLY. Please do not send paper applications
or additional paper documents.
In summary, criteria for applications are
as follows:
* Application through ERAS, deadline
December 15, 2008, complete application by January
1, 2009.
* USMLE Transcript (Step 1) and/or COMLEX Transcript for DO students
* Minimum scores = PASSING (We do not have
any particular USMLE score at which we do/do
not grant an interview, but obviously those
with the best scores have a better chance of
getting invited. Thus it is advantageous to
have competitive scores)
* Two letters of recommendation (one must
be from a faculty member of your Department
of Medicine) ERAS allows you to submit up to four.
* Dean's letter
Interviews are granted on an invitation only
basis and take place in November, December and January.
We hope this information is helpful and look forward to your application.
