Applying for Internal Medicine Residency

Overview

Applicants to our Categorical Internal Medicine Program must apply through the ERAS. All internship positions will be offered through the NRMP. 

Please note that we do not have a Preliminary Medicine Program.

Signaling: Applicants who have signaled our program and meet our selection criteria will be preferentially considered for interviews. However, all candidates will be reviewed and considered. We review every application, however, due to application inflation signaling helps in our holistic review.

Interviews take place from November through January.

Invitations to interview are sent through the ERAS on a rolling basis from October through December by email.  Applicants who are not invited for interview will also be notified by email through ERAS. 

Additional questions may be sent to our program coordinator Anita Yu at anita.yu@tuftsmedicine.org

We look forward to receiving your application!
