Minimum Requirements for Candidates:
- All applications must be processed through the Electronic Resident Application Service (ERAS). We do not accept applications outside of ERAS. To register for the ERAS database, please go to www.aamc.org.
- NRMP: We participate in the National Registry Match Program (NRMP). In addition to registering with ERAS, all candidates must register with the NRMP. You must be registered with the NRMP by the match deadline or you cannot be matched into this program. For more information regarding the NRMP registration process, please go to www.nrmp.org.
- Medical School Education: A graduate of an American Medical Association-approved and Massachusetts BORIM-approved medical school (within eight years of graduation).
- USMLE: The Tufts MC Pathology + Laboratory Medicine Department does not have a score minimum, but we will not interview candidates who have failed any steps. We make very few exceptions to this. You must have step 1 completed for your application to be considered. Steps 2 CK and 2 CS must be completed before starting residency for licensure.
- All foreign medical graduates must apply through the ECFMG, who will then process all foreign applications through ERAS. Tufts Medical Center sponsors only the J-1 Visa. H1B visas are extremely limited and considered in rare cases.
- International applicants would preferably have at least one year of experience in the United States.
