Residency Internship begins
Only electronic applications via the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) are
accepted for Internal Medicine residency positions.
U.S. medical students should contact their Dean’s Office for access to the ERAS system. IMG’s must apply for residency through ERAS by contacting the ECFMG.
We do NOT offer any pre-match positions.
Application Signaling information: While we preferentially review
applications from those who signal our program, we also consider
applicants who do not signal us.
Required Application Documents
- Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE)
- Applicants must provide a SEL from your clerkship office, official transcript, and at least three letters of recommendation. At least one letter must be from an internist. The letters need to state
that the writer has directly observed the applicant. The letters must also address clinical competency and medical knowledge. *Applicants to the preliminary medicine program should have at least one letter of recommendation from an Internal Medicine, Internal Medicine subspecialty, or Family Medicine faculty.
- USMLE Step 1 Score or COMLEX 1

NRMP numbers
All R-1 positions for the Internal Medicine Residency Program are selected through The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). The UTMB Internal Medicine NRMP numbers for Match participation are:
- Categorical Track (NRMP #1714140C0)
- Preliminary Medicine Program (NRMP #1714140P0)

Our internal medicine residency program is committed to recruiting, supporting, and retaining outstanding residents of all backgrounds. We use a multi-criteria-based selection process; therefore, we do not provide minimum score requirements nor do we have a medical school graduation year requirement. We accept J-1 ECFMG certified visas only.
