Some notes on applying to our program:

We strongly urge you to ask your EM letter writers to use the Standard Letter of Recommendation form (SLOR). This can be downloaded from http://www.cordem.org/.

We do not use any cut-off values for USMLE scores. However, we believe Step 2 scores are more relevant to residency training and urge you to submit Step 2 scores when they are available.

Osteopathic applicants: We strongly encourage you to take the USMLE exams.

International applicants: You must have a very competitive overall application to be considered. Letters from a US emergency physician based on a clinical experience in the US can greatly strengthen your application. We only sponsor a J1 visa with no exceptions. You must be certified by the ECFMG before entering our program.

Applicants with prior residency training must submit a letter from the director of each program.

Our residents are selected through the National Resident Match Program (NRMP). Criteria for placing applicants on the Rank Order List for the Match include the aforementioned documents and a personal interview. You must take and pass Step 2 of the USMLE and have the results in ERAS in order to be placed on our rank list. Remember that you must request that the National Board of Medical Examiners send your score(s) to the ERAS post office for transmittal to our program. On a case by case basis we occasionally take residents outside of the match.
We appreciate your interest in the Department of Emergency Medicine at George Washington University.

Good luck in the match!
