We begin reviewing applications as soon as ERAS allows.

While we preferentially review applications from those who signal our program, we also consider applicants who do not signal us, particularly those who have indicated a geographic preference for the Bay Area.

For further information and formal guidance from the AAMC on program signaling, please see this section of the AAMC website:

We look at board scores, clinical experience, Dean’s letter and other letters of reference, medical school transcript, and commitment to working with underserved populations.

• The preliminary track is one year of training for applicants matching in a specialty that requires a year long internship, such as anesthesiology, dermatology, neurology, ophthalmology, PM&R, radiation oncology, etc.

• The categorical track is a 3-year residency in Internal Medicine that provides general internal medicine training with a curriculum tailored to residents considering hospitalist or fellowship positions.

• The primary care track is a 3-year residency in Internal Medicine that provides general internal medicine training with a curriculum tailored to residents considering a career in primary care.

Yes. If you want to be considered for both programs you need to select both on ERAS. If you wish to rank both programs you will need to list each on your rank list.

Applicants must provide a Dean’s letter (MSPE), plus 3 letters of recommendation. We prefer at least 2 letters from an internal medicine rotation.

Both are not required. We accept USMLE and/or COMLEX score transcripts.

Yes, we do accept IMGs and US-IMGs.

US experience is not required, although it is desirable.

We do not require an applicant to be ECFMG certified at the time of the application or interview but applicants will need ECFMG certification in order to start their intern year.

While we do not offer direct visa sponsorship, we work with ECFMG to sponsor J-1 visas.

Yes

While we welcome all applicants, those who graduated more recently are more competitive given the rapid changes in medicine.

In partnership with several of our peer programs, our program has decided not to participate in the NRMP list lock pilot and will not be offering in-person second looks for the 2025–2026 application season. We hope this decision helps to ease financial and logistical burdens for applicants during the recruitment process.
