They have been
drawn traditionally from highly regarded medical schools in the U.S.
We actively recruit minority applicants. Candidates are asked to make
a firm three-year commitment. Five transitional Interns and eight
Psychiatry Interns round out the PGY1 cohort. House officers hold
appointments as "Clinical Fellows in Medicine" at Harvard Medical
School. They have access to the Countway Medical and other libraries,
and to all University athletic facilities, housing services and other
standard amenities.
Applications
are accepted only through Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).
Our NRMP code is 1268140M0. Your application must include USMLE
scores, dean's letter, transcript, and 3 Letters of recommendation,
one of which is from a U.S. hospital where you have completed your
Medicine Clerkship/Subinternship. The application deadline is December
15.
Interviews are
by invitation only. The interview day begins with an introductory
group session, followed by individual interviews, informal meetings
with current residents and tours of the hospital. Interviewees are
invited to visit the hospital any time to meet house and attending
staff, to attend inpatient work and visit rounds, primary care or
specialty conferences, and to observe an ambulatory care site. Individual
arrangements can be made with Ms. Linda Fowler, the Residency Program
Coordinator. We are strongly committed to affirmative action, and
welcome applications from U.S. trained minority medical students.
Minority faculty and house officers would be pleased to meet with
students considering our program to discuss the quality of training
as well as day-to-day life in our community.
