Appointments are made through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), which requires registration in addition to ERAS.
Applicants considered for an appointment will be invited to visit for a personal interview with the Program Director and selected Faculty. Interviews are conducted from mid-December to mid-January each year.
If your COMLEX and/or USMLE scores are unavailable at the time of ranking, you will not be eligible to be ranked with the NRMP.
