Applicants for Residency
Positions
Three categorical positions are available per year. We also have 8 preliminary positions spread over PGY1 and PGY2. All of our intern positions are filled through the match. We fill our preliminary PGY2 positions outside of the match in the spring via the APDS job board.
Qualifications
We perform a holistic review of all eligible applications. ABS board eligibility requirements are available here.
Applicants must have passed USMLE step 1 and USMLE step 2 at time of application.
We consider both osteopathic and allopathic medical graduates with graduation dates up to 5 years prior to date of enrollment.
Foreign medical graduates must obtain ECFMG certification and be eligible for a New York State medical license. We sponsor J1 visas for eligible candidates. We do not currently sponsor H1B or O1 visas. This is determined by Lincoln Medical Center Graduate Medical Education leadership and is not at the discretion of our department. International medical graduates should contact the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) for information on how to apply using ERAS.

How to Apply
All applications should be submitted through the ERAS website. Current ERAS timeline is available here. Applicants are encouraged to submit their full application early, as late and incomplete applications are not considered.
