Cambridge Health Alliance is strongly committed to Affirmative Action, and we particularly welcome applications from U.S. trained minority medical students. The Cambridge Health Alliance health care system serves a racially and ethnically diverse population including Black, Hispanic, Portuguese/Brazilian, and Haitian communities. Hospital administration and medical staff are actively seeking to assure increased representation of these communities at all levels of the hospital work force. Minority house officers would be pleased to meet with students considering our program, to discuss the quality of training as well as the day to day life of minority physicians in our community. Application requirements to our Transitional Year Residency Program include: 3 Letters of Recommendation (one should be from your Medicine rotation preceptor); A letter of recommendation from U.S. hospital where clerkship/subinternship was done; dean's letter and transcript; USMLE passing score of 75 or above; At least one month of clinical experience in the United States (research is not acceptable).

Cambridge Health Alliance uses the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS) for applications to the Transitional Internship Program. The ACGME ID for their program is 9992400054. The application deadline is December 15.
