Maine Medical Center Surgery Residency Program

Minimum requirements

---

Notes and additional requirements:
USMLE scores are reviewed as part of the holistic review of an applicant’s file. We do not have minimum requirements, but rather seek to understand an applicant’s scores within the context of the entire application. IMG candidate must have had direct (“hands on”) clinical experience for at least one year within the past 3 years in a hospital in the United States, United Kingdom or Canada. Step 1 > 220 or Step 2 > 245. We do make occasional exceptions, based on the strength of the applicant’s full application. We will not offer an interview to an IMG unless we have a firsthand relationship with them. *First hand relationship: someone who has completed a clinical rotation with us, or has a direct working relationship with a resident or faculty member of the general surgery program.
