How to Apply

Requirements

Candidates must graduate from an approved U.S. medical school or pass the USMLE qualifying examination. Foreign medical school graduates must qualify for an Illinois medical license. An application will not be considered complete until accompanied by at least three letters of recommendation plus a dean's letter and medical school transcript.

Applications

Since we only accept applications (including supplemental documentation) through the Central Application Service, please do not send any documents directly to us.
