We select residents based upon the complete application. We do not require that an applicant complete a pathology rotation. However, if a rotation has been completed, applicants are encouraged to include a letter of recommendation from a supervising faculty member from that rotation. Applications other than from ERAS (universal forms, etc.) will not be accepted. For more information regarding international medical graduates, please go here.
