Emergency Medicine HCA Florida Healthcare/Aventura Hospital Residency Program

Minimum requirements

Notes and additional requirements:
Notes and additional requirements: We do require that international students have some clinical experience in the United States with a letter of recommendation from that experience. It is preferable if a DO applicant has taken the USMLE examination as a head-to-head comparison with the MD applicants. It is helpful for us to have SLOEs in an applicant’s file as this a standard evaluation used by clerkships and EM residency programs throughout the country. However, not all schools or rotation sites use these when evaluating their students so they are not mandatory. We do require at least one emergency medicine faculty letter. We would consider an exception to this for a resident who is transferring from another specialty. In total we require three letters of recommendation. It is preferable if at least two of these are from EM faculty members.
