Application FAQs
All applications must be submitted through ERAS.
Do you accept applications from foreign medical graduates?
We accept and review applications from medical school graduates from all accredited medical and osteopathic schools.
What about Visas?
At this time, we are only able to accept applications from candidates who are U.S. citizens, permanent residents (green card holders), or current J-1 Visa holders.
What are the cut-offs for Step scores and grade point average (GPA)?
All applicants are evaluated on their individual merits. We do not have predetermined levels for test scores or GPA.
Can I send additional information, such as articles and PowerPoint presentations?
Please do not send any additional information unless it is specifically requested. We will let you know if additional information is needed.
Can I make a presentation when I interview or come early to do a presentation?
Because not all applicants are able to spend extra time to give individual presentations, we are not able to offer any applicants the opportunity to do presentations. There is not sufficient time on interview days for presentations.
How many applicants will you be interviewing?
We interview depending on the number of positions available.
When are the interviews?
Interviews are generally held in December and January. Exact dates are posted when available.
Do you offer internship positions? What type of internship is acceptable?
We do offer or sponsor PGY-1 positions as part of our residency program. Our program begins with PGY-2. ACGME radiation oncology requirements call for the first year of postgraduate clinical training to be spent in internal medicine, family practice, OB-GYN, surgery, or surgical specialties, pediatrics, a categorical radiation oncology year, or a transitional year program.
