How To Apply

Applications and Interviews

The Brown University Medicine/Pediatrics Residency participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). Applications are accepted from graduates of approved medical schools exclusively through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). M.D. and D.O. graduates from U.S. schools register for ERAS through their Dean's Office.

DEADLINE for submitting your application is December 31, 2010.

We invite qualified applicants for a personal interview, which includes the opportunity to meet faculty and residents, and to tour Rhode Island/Hasbro Children's and Women's and Infants Hospitals. Invitations to interview are extended beginning in late October (see the "Invitation to Interview" section below for additional information). Interview appointment opportunities generally fill early.

Please Note:

Letters of Reference: Applicants to the Medicine/Pediatrics Residency Program are asked to submit four letters of reference, in addition to their Dean's letter. At least one letter of reference should be a "Departmental" letter from the applicant's Department of Internal Medicine and one letter from the Department of Pediatrics. "Departmental" letters can come from the chairperson of the department or clerkship director. The remaining two letters are at the discretion of the applicant.

International Medical Graduate Applicants: The ECFMG serves as the Dean's Office for all IMGs, including USIMGs. Please refer to the ECFMG homepage on the World Wide Web at www.ecfmg.org/eras/index.html. Please be advised that the program does not support H-1 visas and cannot guarantee review of applications with USMLE scores below 80. US Clinical experience is recommended.
