Frequently Asked Questions

What are your criteria to apply?
We require one year of formal medical education in the United States. This needs to be either clinical rotations through your medical school or through a residency program. The training has to be within the last two years (observerships and externships do not qualify). We also require a passing Step 1 USMLE or COMLEX by your second attempt and passing Step 2 USMLE or COMLEX on both parts on your first attempt. Year of graduation from medical school must be no more than three years from date of application.
May I fax additional information to put with my application?
No. Information that is sent through mail or the fax will be discarded. All documentation must be submitted through ERAS.
Do you invite international medical graduates to interview?
Yes. All applications are reviewed. Applicants who meet our criteria are eligible for an interview.
Do you sponsor visas?
Yes, we sponsor J-1 visas and H1b visas.
What is unique about your program?
We have a small group of "core" attendings who believe in a very hands-on approach to teaching. Many of the attendings came through the residency program themselves and feel a sense of pride for the residents in our program.
Do you have maternity/paternity leave?
Yes, residents are permitted to take a leave of absence for the birth or adoption of a child.
How are your residents accepted in a multi-residency hospital?
Our residents are well-received, and Aultman Hospital provides a resident-friendly training environment. Our residents work side-by-side with Ob/Gyn, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, and Radiology residents. This creates a strong bond and teamwork approach to patient care and lasting professional relationships.
