Family Medicine Residency

How to Apply

All applications for The University of Toledo Family Medicine Residency Program are taken through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Paper applications are not accepted. Candidates are selected through the National Resident Matching Program.

Applicants should submit the following documentation online through ERAS no later than November 1:


International Applicants

We welcome international medical graduates to apply to our family medicine residency. We require a valid ECFMG certificate before we submit our Match list. Preference is given to international graduates who have meaningful United States (U.S.) or Canadian clinical training that involves patient decision-making. U.S. experience in an observership role is more desirable than no U.S. experience at all. We do not offer observerships or externships. We do not accept any visas, including those sponsored by the ECFMG, H-1B, J-1, or EAD.


Interview Selections

Interviews are by invitation only and will be arranged upon receipt of all application materials. As such, please do not call the office or email the coordinator to find out the status of your application.  Preference is given to candidates who have graduated from medical school in the last three years and who have scored at least 220 on the first attempt for Step 1 and Step 2.  In addition, candidates who grew up or went to undergraduate or medical school in or around Ohio are viewed favorably. A demonstrated interest in family medicine also is preferred.

Of note, no one will be interviewed who has not taken USMLE Step 2. Confirmation of passage of Step 2 is required before submission of our Match List.
