How to Apply

Residency applications are processed through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Attention applicants, please view instructions for the ACPM SAP match.

A completed residency program application file consists of:

1. Completed ERAS application
2. Personal Statement
3. At least three letters of recommendation (including one letter from current residency program director)
4. Dean's letter and transcript from medical school
5. USMLE scores including Step III

While we do not have a firm deadline, it is in your best interests to have your application completed by October 1st as our interview slots fill quickly. Interviews are by invitation only—we regret that we must limit the number of interviews granted.

• Possession of M.D. or D.O. degree from an ACGME accredited or dual accredited institution
• Completion of at least 11 months of clinical (direct patient care) internship year (PGY-1) in a program accredited by the ACGME by the time of entry into the program
• Must be licensed in California by the end of the PGY-2 year or after a total of 24 months of ACGME-accredited training, whichever is sooner
