The Adult Neurology program participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) and in the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS)sponsored by the American Association of Medical Colleges. In order to maintain equality and best evaluate each individual applicant, all communications are done through ERAS. No direct application mailings are accepted.
The Adult Neurology program is Categorical. The applicant should not apply for and obtain a PGY-1 year in Internal Medicine separate and apart from the application to Neurology.
The following documents are required as part of your application through ERAS:
-
Three current letters of recommendation. All letters of recommendation must be from people who can comment on your clinical abilities. Additional letters such as those from research mentors are welcome.
-
Personal statement
-

-
USMLE or COMLEX transcript for Step 1 and 2 and Step 3 if available
-
Personal photograph
-
Dean's letter (this is automatically uploaded into the ERAS database)
-
Updated curriculum vitae
