Applicants must obtain a medical degree (M.D. or D.O.) from an
accredited U.S. or foreign medical school prior to matriculation.
Foreign medical graduates must have successfully passed the
E.C.F.M.G. certifying examination. All candidates must be eligible for medical
licensure in Illinois.
We are seeking candidates who will be completing a transitional or preliminary
medicine year. Postgraduate year (PGY-1) is mandatory and must be
completed in an ACGME approved program. The residency participates in the
National Residents Matching Program (NRMP) and accepts
applications electronically on ERAS.
We were recently notified of a dramatic
change in the Department of Labor's methodology for calculating the
prevailing wages institutions are required to pay H1-B sponsored trainees.
The new methodology has made it unfeasible, from a financial standpoint, for
LUMC to continue sponsoring trainees with H1-B visas. We do however,
continue to accept and train trainees who hold J1 visas and other forms of
work authorizations accepted by the United States Citizenship and
Immigration Service.
Required application materials include the electronic application form,
medical school transcripts, USMLE Step One score (and Step 2 if available),
personal statement, Dean's letter, three letters of recommendation and a
recent photograph. The deadline for receipt of all materials is November 5 of the application year. Out of fairness to all
applicants, this deadline will not be extended. All applicants will be
notified of their status approximately one week after the application
deadline.
Residents are selected and ranked by the Residency Selection
Committee based on their academic records, academic, personal and
professional achievements, letters of recommendation, and a
personal interview with committee members. Approximately 500
completed applications are reviewed annually and 80 candidates will be
interviewed. The majority of candidates
interviewed are ranked for the six available positions.
