Instructions to Applicants

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center offers three different tracks within the Internal Medicine Residency Program. The large Categorical Program offers the traditional three years of training in the core of internal medicine. The Primary Care Program focuses on ambulatory internal medicine and academic general internal medicine, a veritable launching pad for someone interested in becoming an academic clinician-educator. Finally, the Medical Research Track provides accelerated clinical training for individuals with strong scientific research backgrounds who wish to pursue a career as a physician-scientist. 

All of the internal medicine residency programs subscribe to the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) for first-year trainees. Applicants are welcome to apply to as many of the tracks that interest them; application to each track is considered independently. Interviews begin in mid-November 2010, continuing through late January 2011, and are by invitation only. Applicants will be considered for an interview on the basis of their overall record.

The application deadline is November 15, 2010.

Use the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) through your dean's office and register with the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). We accept intern applicants only through the NRMP Match. For further information please contact us by email at NYPCornell-IMResidency@med.cornell.edu.

International Applicants

Because of the great number of highly qualified persons applying to our program, very few international medical graduates will be invited to interview. On average there have been up to four international medical school graduates enrolled in the three-year program. Most transfer into the program after successful completion of an ACGME-accredited medicine internship. Applicants should have substantial research experience, outstanding letters of recommendation from their clinical and/or research supervisors in the United States and a valid ECFMG certification. There is no specific board score requirement. NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center does not sponsor H-1 B visas. We accept J-1 visas only.

All applications must be submitted through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG).  All applicants must register with the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), as we accept intern applicants only through the NRMP. Applicants will be considered for interviews on the basis of their overall record.

Student Electives

All student electives at Weill Cornell-affiliated hospitals are arranged through the Office of Academic Affairs. Further information may be obtained by viewing the link below.
