Residency Admissions

All applications are accepted thru ERAS. Apply to Program #3805577094 for Occupational Medicine and Program #3805588095 for General Preventive Medicine. Only completed applications will be considered. All interviews for the Occupational Medicine and Public Health/General Preventive Medicine residency programs are currently being conducted via Zoom.

A completed ERAS application includes: 

  • Three letters of reference--qualified to comment on past performance
  • Personal Statement of Interest
  • Passing USMLE Step 1,2, 3 scores
  • Dean's letter
  • Curriculum vitae
  • Official copy of academic transcripts
  • Copy of Medical Degree
  • Copy of current ECFMG certificate (if applicable)
  • Documentation of clinical competency 
    •  a letter from a Program Director verifying successful completion of an internship or residency, regardless of specialty, that documents at least 11 months of direct clinical care, either by so stating in a letter or by attaching a list or schedule of successfully completed rotations

Accepted applicants without a previous MPH degree will need to complete a separate application to the Master of Public Health (MPH) program and will be discussed closer to the time of admission.

Applicants must be:

  • Graduates of an LCME accredited medical school
  • International Medical Graduates (IMG) with a current ECFMG certification
  • MUST be a US citizen or permanent resident

We do NOT offer the clinical year, hence all applicants must  have completed at least one clinical year in an ACGME-accredited residency training program.

A personal interview is required, which will give the applicant an opportunity to meet the faculty/staff in the department. All interviews for the Occupational Medicine and Public Health/General Preventive Medicine residency programs are currently being conducted via Zoom.

Interviews are by invitation only. Once the application is completed, the candidate will be invited by phone or e-mail to schedule an interview date.

Preference is given to civilian candidates who are likely to remain in the Appalachian region or other underserved rural areas.
