Internship and residency applications may be made through ERAS: www.aamc.org/eras.
Application to the programs should be made no later than November 1st. Only complete applications will be reviewed. Applications must include the following in order to be considered complete:
Application form;
Three or more letters of recommendation;
Dean’s letter;
Medical school transcript; and
USMLE transcript (Step I).
Please Note: Candidates applying to the Primary Care Track must apply to both the BWH and HVMA programs as well as the Categorical Track. All applicants selected to interview on a Primary Care day will also be scheduled to interview on a Categorical day (generally done on two adjacent days).
Invitations for personal interviews are issued only after the applicant’s file is completed and reviewed by members of the Internship Selection Committee. If special personal or financial circumstances arise requiring early notification with regard to an interview, an applicant may contact the Medicine Residency Office to request early application review.
International Medical Graduates:
All applications are judged equally without regard to the nation of medical training. International Medical Graduates must have ECFMG certification and completed ERAS file. Historically, successful applicants have USMLE (steps 1 & 2) scores above 90 and prior clinical training in the US or Canada. On average, IMGs with extraordinary qualifications, make up 1-3 interns per year. If accepted, BWH will sponsor either H-1 or J-1 visa.
