Our deadline for new applications is October 31st. We cannot accept applications after that date unless there are extenuating circumstances. If that is the case, please contact our residency coordinator via our residency email at [email protected].

Please submit a minimum of three letters, with a maximum of four.

No. However, we strongly encourage you to obtain a SLOE from your home institution. This year, we hope to see at least one O-SLOE in your application in place of away sub-internship rotation letters.

No. At least one letter MUST be from an emergency medicine (EM) physician. We encourage you to ask for letters from faculty members with whom you have worked closely with and who will best be able to assess your clinical and/or research abilities. This year, we recognize that students will not have completed away rotations and encourage you to ask your non-EM letter writers to use the O-SLOE, available from CORD.

ERAS allows four letters to be uploaded to each residency program. We do not accept letters of recommendation submitted outside of ERAS.

All applicants will be notified by email via ERAS whether they have been offered an interview or not.

Completed applications include the following items listed below. We do not typically offer interviews until applications are considered complete, but may make an offer with only two letters of recommendation if we believe we have enough information to assess your application.

1. ERAS application
2. Personal statement
3. Medical school transcript
4. Three letters of recommendation (minimum of one from an EM physician — SLOEs strongly encouraged)
5. Dean's letter

Applicants who are invited to interview receive an email notification through ERAS. Official invitations are sent through Interview Broker, where applicants can manage their own calendar by self-scheduling and re-scheduling their interview date, if needed. Applicants also can wait-list themselves for alternate interview dates.

We are not able to offer travel stipends.

Each Thursday evening during the interview season, there is a casual gathering for residents, applicants and their significant others – which this year will occur on Zoom. You will receive information about the gathering when we confirm your interview date.

Yes.

The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine can only reliably sponsor incoming residents and fellows for J-1 ECFMG (Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates) Alien Physician Exchange Visitor statuses at this time. This applies to residents and fellows entering the school of medicine from abroad, as well as those in the U.S. with another non-immigrant status.

We do not have specific requirements for foreign medical graduates. Every application is considered on an individual basis. However, all international medical graduates must be certified by the ECFMG.

To apply for a visiting rotation, please visit the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Registrar's Office site for more information.  For any additional questions, please contact the School of Medicine registrar at 410-955-3080 or email [email protected].

You may be aware of a ranking system of residency programs created by Doximity in conjunction with U.S. News & World Report. Although it may seem attractive to choose programs ranked highly on the Doximity list, we believe the methodology is questionable, and the results merely represent program popularity among physicians who are members of Doximity. This list may not serve you well. Because of our concerns that it does not provide you with appropriate and meaningful guidance in choosing a best-fit program, our program—and many other top-tier EM programs across the country—have opted not to participate in the Doximity survey.
