The Sierra View Medical Center Internal Medicine Residency operates under
the standard academic calendar year from July-June.
We participate in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), and interested
candidates must apply online through the Electronic Residency Application
Service (ERAS). All complete applications are reviewed on an individual
basis. An application is considered complete when the following information
has been received:
Dean’s Letter
Medical School Transcript
Curriculum Vitae
Written Personal Statement
Three letters of recommendation (at least two of these should be from members
of the Department of Internal Medicine at your school, affiliate, hospital
or elective course, and current within the last 12 months)
United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Scores Step I and Step
II (CS and CK)* or COMLEX Scores Step I and Step II
Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) Certification
(if applicable)
Selection and Appointment
The Sierra View Medical Center Internal Medicine Residency Selection Committee
reviews applications for twelve (12) categorical PGY 1 positions and four
(4) preliminary PGY 1 positions each year. We select the most qualified
candidates to interview and rank based on the following criteria:
Graduated from a U.S. or Foreign Medical School ideally within the last
three (3) years.
USMLE Steps I and II (CS and CK)* Passage (Scores above 220 preferred).
If FMG, highly favored if Part III passed as well. Ideally no failures
at any level.
J-1 visa sponsorship considered on a case-by-case basis.
H1B Visas are not sponsored.
Match Process
You must register for the Match (NRMP), as we do not accept any applicants
outside of the Match.
*Note: Due to the current suspension of administration of the USMLE Step
II CS exam and prior cancellations of the USMLE Step II CK exam, we recognize
that some applicants may not have these examinations completed. We will
review applications that do not yet have these completed with the understanding
that the Step II CK exam must be completed and passed prior to the start
of residency training. U.S. medical graduates will not be required to
have a USMLE Step II CS exam completion and passage for now. Foreign medical
graduates seeking ECFMG certification should refer to the ECFMG website
regarding pathways to ECFMG Certification in absence of a USMLE Step II
CS exam score.
