On your ERAS application, please include:

Personal Statement

Passing scores on your USMLE STEP 1 and COMLEX 1( with a maximum of one fail)

and in order to rank, we recommend passing scores on USMLE STEP 2 and COMLEX 2 (with no failing score).

For our D.O. applicants:

We welcome D.O. candidates and accept Comlex scores without USMLE scores being required. As a resident, we allow you to do gentle OMM without any high velocity maneuvers with your clinic patients, but do not currently have a D.O. faculty who can teach & bill for OMM. Prior D.O. residents have gained and maintained OMM skills by working with local D.O.’s on electives or at CME conference workshops.

Other requirements:

Have demonstrable inpatient experience & credible recommendations from an ACGME-accredited teaching hospital

Speak fluent English, though other language skills can be an asset. Passage of the 'English Proficiency' test for the ECFMG does not assure this level of competency.

International medical graduates must have both:

A valid ECFMG certification

U.S. citizenship, or permanent resident status.

Must have graduated medical school within the past 3 years

Visas: At this time Providence Oregon FMR does not sponsor any visas.

Providence Health & Services -- Portland Service Area will ensure that its ACGME-accredited programs select from among eligible applicants on the basis of their preparedness, ability, aptitude, academic credentials, communication skills, and personal qualities such as motivation and integrity.  ACGME-accredited programs in the Portland Service Area will not discriminate with regard to sex, race, age, religion, color, national origin, disability, or veteran status.

We value diversity and we want to provide the most culturally compassionate care possible to our diverse populations.

Additional Tips:

In order to be competitive with other applicants we require a passing score on STEP 1 or COMLEX 1 and recommend a score of >220 on STEP 2 CK or a COMLEX 2 of >410 and no failing score for STEP 2 CK or COMLEX 2.
