Applicants must have passed both Steps 1 and 2 of the USMLE with a maximum of 3 attempts each. If Step 3 has not been passed, then the first passage of either Step 1 or 2 must not have occurred more than 5 years before the entry date into the program for which the applicant is applying.

When openings occur in the second-year level, applications will be accepted from physicians who have completed an internship. Upon successful completion of the graduate study program, the resident will be eligible for examination leading to certification by the American Board of Family Medicine.
