Application

Thank you for your interest in Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital for your residency training.

Guthrie processes resident applications only through ERAS (Electronic Residency Application Service). Visit www.aamc.org/students/eras/. The application due date is variable for each program and match day is in March each year.

For more information contact the Program Coordinator, Wendy Colegrove, at wendy.colegrove@guthrie.org or at 570-887-3585.

Summary of Requirements for All Graduates:  

• USMLE Part I, pass on first attempt; USMLE Part II score above 220 on first attempt
• US Clinical Experience is strongly preferred
• Graduation Date within 3 Years
• FMG's must be ECFMG certified
• If applying for a Preliminary Surgery position, a position for the following year is desired (i.e.:  Anesthesiology, Radiology, etc.) Our program is non-pyramidal; therefore, there are no positions in the second year for those interested in General Surgery. 
• In most cases, our institution sponsors J-1 visas only - If you are considering an H1-B, you must have proof of passing USMLE Step III and this must be approved by Guthrie's Graduate Medical Education department.
