Info for applicants

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for your interest in our residency training program.

We have no open positions for 2007-08.

Our basic requirements for consideration for interview include:

• graduation from medical school within the past five years (not flexible).
• passage of USMLE I and II, including CSA (preferably on first attempt). Obviously, the better your scores, the stronger will be your application. Osteopathic students need not take USMLE. Similar expectations apply for the COMLEX exams.
• some U.S. clinical experience
• three letters of recommendation, at least two of which MUST be from family doctors

We accept applications only through ERAS. Please do not email me long attachments in an attempt to circumvent the process because I will not read them. If you meet our criteria outlined above, then apply through ERAS. This will ensure that your application is reviewed.

We will be participating in the Osteopathic Match this year. Osteopathic students may apply to our program through either or both Match processes, however you will only be guaranteed a dual-accredited slot by matching through the AOA Match.

We will begin our interview season for the class entering in 2008 in October 2007 and hope to conclude interviews by mid-February at the latest. We will begin screening applications immediately as they become available through ERAS. We will schedule interviews until we have interviewed sufficient candidates to fill our class, so you are encouraged to apply early.

Our program does sponsor J1 visas. Our program does NOT sponsor H-1 visas.
UTMB does NOT sponsor externships or observerships for persons who have already graduated from medical school.

Please see our Residency website for more detailed information regarding our program. For specific questions that may not be covered, please contact our recruiter, Mr. Louis Johnston. His contact information is listed on the webpage.
