Emergency Medicine HCA Florida Healthcare/Westside/Northwest Hospital Residency Program

Minimum requirements

Notes and additional requirements:
Notes and additional requirements: Step 2 scores are not required by the time of application, however, if your Step 1 score was lower, an improvement on Step 2 will work in your favor. 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. We require three letters of recommendation. It is preferable if at least two of these are from EM faculty members. We will consider an applicant who has had to take the examination more than one time, but in our application pool failure of the boards will make your application less competitive. It is preferable if a DO applicant has taken the USMLE examination as a head-to-head comparison with the MD applicants.
