Note: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all our residency interview days will be conducted virtually for the 2022-2023 recruitment season. We will begin reviewing applications through the Electronic Residency Application Services (ERAS®) on September 28, 2022. We accept applications only from participants in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) which is available through your Dean's Office. Our 2022-2023 interview season will run from mid-October through mid-January.
For the 2022-2023 ERAS® cycle, our program strongly encourages all applicants to complete an optional supplemental ERAS application, offered through the AAMC’s ERAS pilot program. Applicants also will be required to complete the standard MyERAS application.
The additional information collected on the optional supplemental application will help our program staff learn more about an applicant’s medical education journey, including more meaningful information about an applicant’s work, volunteer, and research experiences, and will help us better identify individuals who fit our program’s environment and mission. This optional supplemental ERAS application will be delivered on a survey platform that is separate from the MyERAS application and must be completed between September 1-30.
Our 2022-2023 residency interview season will run from mid-October through mid-January. Interviews will be offered on most Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Applicants will have an opportunity to meet virtually with several of our residents on the evening prior to their interview day. The interview day will begin with a member of our leadership team welcoming the group and providing a program overview presentation. Applicants will have an opportunity to interview with three faculty members and view one of our pre-recorded resident case conference sessions. Applicants will also receive information about our campus and living in Charlotte. The virtual interview day should conclude no later than 1 p.m. EST.
Our program leadership team conducts a holistic review of all applicants based on a combination of academic grades and test scores, an applicant’s recommendation letters, personal statement, evidence of leadership and service, and scholarship. While we do not have a USMLE or COMLEX cut-off score, applicants are required (with rare exception) to pass their standardized examinations on the first attempt to receive an invitation to interview.
Currently, we do not have any international medical graduates in our resident complement. We will review applications from students from international medical schools who meet all the following four criteria: [no exceptions here]

No, but if you have worked closely with your Chair in a clinical or research setting, it would be appropriate to include a letter from him/her.
No. We encourage you to ask for letters from faculty with whom you have worked closely and who will best be able to assess your clinical and/or research abilities. However, it is recommended that at least one of your letters come from an internist.
ERAS allows as many letters of recommendation as you feel are necessary. However, no more than four letters may be sent to any individual program.
Applicants will be notified by email via ERAS when they have been offered an interview. The process of scheduling an interview is done through ERAS and will be detailed in the email that you receive. We recommend scheduling an interview as soon as possible as dates fill up quickly.
Interviews are held from late October through early January. Dates are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. We will do our best to accommodate your schedule, but we cannot guarantee availability of the dates you request, as each day has a limited number of spots available.
The interview day begins at approximately 7:30 a.m. and typically concludes around 1 p.m. There is an optional dinner with residents on the evening prior to the interview day which we encourage applicants to attend if possible.
Yes. You will be invited to participate in an optional virtual Meet & Greet with several of our residents. This is a virtual gathering that allows for casual group conversation and offers opportunities to ask our residents questions about their experiences in our program and what it is like to live in Charlotte. You will receive details about this event via email prior to your scheduled interview date.
