How to Apply Family Medicine

U.S. citizens, permanent residents, green card holders, or J-1 Visa holders are welcome to apply.  Applicants need to meet the following criteria to be considered for an interview:

• Graduate from an LCME, AOA, or WHO-accredited medical school within the last two years.
• Pass both USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 or COMLEX 1 and 2 with no more than one failed attempt.  Candidates who have not passed both steps by the ranking deadline will not be ranked. 
• Submit three letters of recommendation. At least one letter of recommendation must be from a family physician.

Information for international Medical Graduates (IMGs)

• Creighton will sponsor J-1 visas. 
• A minimum of three months of U.S. clinical experience (not counting research) is required.  
• IMGs do not need to have an ECFMG certificate to apply, but they must have one by the time they start residency.

We offer MS-4 Sub-Intern rotations to qualified students. The rotation generally consists of 3 weeks working on our hospital inpatient service and one week in our outpatient clinic. Students will be asked to care for patients as if they were a PGY-1 resident, and they will have the opportunity to participate in rounds, write orders, arrange consults, and be involved in all aspects of patient care.

For more information, visit https://app.cliniciannexus.com/orgs/6933/valleywise-health and look for Family Medicine Sub-I or elective rotations at Valleywise Health in Phoenix.  

Valleywise uses Clinician Nexus to manage our MS4 clinical experiences. Your use of the platform will be free to schedule rotations with us. If you are accepted for rotation, you will be required to complete all onboarding 90 days in advance of the rotation month. An affiliation agreement must be in place prior to a rotation. Please check with your school to see if there is an existing agreement in place.
