Emergency Medicine Residency application process for the University of Florida at Gainesville

HOW TO APPLY

We are only accepting applications through ERAS. We are not taking any applications outside of the Match. All application materials must be received by November 1, 2008.
We will be accepting 8 residents for the class of 2012. Because of the volume of well-qualified applications, not all applicants can be offered an interview.
Applicants for this program must have an M.D. or a D.O. degree. We will accept COMLEX scores for D.O. applicants. USMLE is strongly recommended but not required for D.O. applicants.
U.S. M.D. degree candidates must have passed Step I of the USMLE and be scheduled to take Step II.
Foreign medical graduates must have a valid ECFMG certificate prior to beginning of training. Only the J-1 Visa will be sponsored for the residency. Two years of clinical experience in the US is required as well as proof of passing USMLE Step I, II and III.
International Resident Observerships and Externships are not offered by the UF Dept of Emergency Medicine.
Letters of reference in the SLOR format should include at least one from an Emergency Medicine physician.
The content of applications will not be discussed by phone or email. Inquires limited to the status of applications can be sent via email.
Interviews will be offered to qualified applicants, based on the strength of the total application. Earlier applications have the benefit of being reviewed sooner.
Interviews will be conducted on Fridays in November, December, and January.
