Application Info

• All applications must be through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).
• What we look for in an applicant:
  • Passed Step 1 & Step 2 CS and CK. While we do not have a USMLE or COMLEX score cutoff, we strongly prefer applicants to have passed on their first attempt. We value personal attributes and experiences more than we value numeric board scores.
  • 3 letters of recommendation, at least two from Psychiatrists. 
  • Interests and experiences that align with our mission.  
  • Eligible to be licensed in Pennsylvania. 
  • Osteopathic applicants are not required, nor expected, to have taken USMLE in addition to COMLEX, i.e., COMLEX is sufficient.
  • Our residents come to us from throughout the United States, as well as international schools.  See our Current Residents page for details.
• Applications are accepted each year as per ERAS Residency Timeline: AAMC for Students, Applicants, and Residents | Students & Residents.
