Wayne State University School of Medicine Program

Wayne State University School of Medicine offers an Internal Medicine Residency Program with a focus on training physicians to become exceptional internists dedicated to excellence and lifelong learning. The program provides outstanding resources for training, including rotations at various clinical sites within the Detroit Medical Center.

Application to the program requires graduation from an AMA-approved medical school for U.S. graduates. Applicants need to meet criteria outlined in the "Essentials of Accredited Residencies." The program only accepts applications through ERAS and requires applicants to participate in the NRMP program.

Application requirements include letters of recommendation, transcripts/diploma, competitive USMLE scores (Step 1 and 2 passed on the first attempt), ECFMG certificate for international graduates, and graduation from medical school within 5 years or actively serving in a clinical capacity. The program prefers applicants within 2-3 years of graduation.

During the selection process, the program emphasizes factors such as academic and clinical credentials, letters of recommendation, and interview evaluations. Only J1 Visas are offered to international graduates. The interview process begins in November, and only those with a passing score for USMLE Step 2 will be ranked.

Residents applying for transfers are evaluated using specific criteria. Interviews are conducted to assess clinical preparedness, aptitude, motivation, integrity, communication skills, community service, leadership skills, and advanced degrees.
