Internal Medicine Maimonides Medical Center Residency Program
Minimum requirements
Notes and additional requirements:
Notes and additional requirements: For H1B Visas, we require proof of passing Step 3 by the NRMP Rank Order List. We do not have strict minimum USMLE/COMLEX score requirements; however, we do consider both scores and number of attempts. For international graduates, we do not require U.S. clinical experience, but it is strongly favored. We prefer candidates who have graduated from medical school within the last three years, but we will consider more than three years from date of graduation with commensurate clinical experience in the intervening time. Applicants must designate their interest in either the Preliminary or the Categorical Internal Medicine Program, as we do not accept applications to both programs from the same candidate. Three (3) letters of recommendation (at least one of which should be from a department of medicine) and Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE – Dean’s Letter) required.
