Frequently Asked Questions
What do you consider most strongly when you look at an applicant?
We look at the whole applicant, but our first priority is the “mission fit.” This is a term we use to describe how well your personal mission fits with ours as an institution. We want residents with the sense of calling to give whole person care in an underserved, family medicine setting.
Secondly, we look for “personal fit,” which describes how your personality, medical acumen, life experiences, and goals interweave with our program.
Are there minimum USMLE score requirements?
No. We look at the entire application when considering an applicant for interviewing.
May I fax or email additional information with my application?
No. Information that is sent through email, mail or fax will be discarded. All documentation must be submitted through ERAS.
Do you interview applicants who are international medical graduates (IMG)?
Yes. We consider all qualified applicants. Please refer to the Loma Linda University Graduate Medical Education Office to see requirements for us to consider your application.
Do you require an Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates certificate for IMG applicants?
Yes. A valid certificate must be submitted with your ERAS® application. The CSA and English dates must be current for IMG applicants.
Can Loma Linda University Health Education Consortium Family Medicine Residency or Graduate Medical Education Office sponsor a VISA?
No. All applicants must have a legal right to work in the United States prior to our rank list submission. The LLU Graduate Medical Education office (phone: 909-558-3131) is most accustomed to transferring an F1 (student) to a J1 VISA.
Do you have a medical school graduation cutoff?
Yes. Applicants must have graduated medical school in the past 2 years.
Do you offer observerships or rotations to outside medical students?
No, we do not offer any observerships or rotations to outside medical students.
