Three (3) letters of recommendation
- It is recommended that one letter be from a Family Medicine physician who has knowledge of your clinical acumen.
- All letters of recommendation must be from individuals who have direct knowledge of your clinical ability and performance. These include attending physicians or any physician who has been in a position to supervise and/or evaluate your clinical performance.
- Letters of recommendation from an observership or research positions are not considered to be desirable.

To be selected for an interview, we require the following:

Preference will be given to applicants with a first-time pass on any component of the USMLE or COMLEX exams.
No more than one failed attempt on USMLE Step 1 or COMLEX Level 1.
In order to be considered for ranking, applicants must have a passing score on USMLE Step 2CK or COMLEX Level 2.
We do not have minimum passing score cutoffs for USMLE and/or COMLEX.

Interviews

Until further notice, we will be conducting all interviews virtually using Zoom. Interviews are by invitation only and will consist of a night before virtual meet and greet with our residents. This will give interviewees a chance to learn more about our residency program and the Fresno area. Interviews will be with the program director and a member of faculty.
