July 1, 2007 Katherine Julian, MD University of California, San Francisco Division of General Internal Medicine 400 Parnassus Avenue, Room A405 San Francisco, CA 94143-0320 Dear Applicant: Thank you for your interest in the Primary Care/General Internal Medicine Residency Program at the University of California San Francisco! A full description of the UCSF Primary Care Internal Medicine Program and other UCSF Department of Medicine residency programs is available electronically at http://medicine.ucsf.edu/housestaff/residency/. For the 2007-2008 NRMP, all applicants to the UCSF Primary Care Internal Medicine Residency Program (NRMP number 1062140M0) must apply through the electronic residency application service (ERAS). Please inquire through your medical school academic affairs office for additional information. In addition to the ERAS application, we require: supporting letters from the Dean of your Medical School; the Chairman of the Department of Medicine or a designated representative; letters from two other faculty from the Department of Medicine who are acquainted with your work; USMLE board scores; medical school transcript and a personal statement. The final deadline for receipt of all of these materials is December 1, 2007 but earlier completion is urged to facilitate the interviewing process. We will begin to send invitations for interviews in November 2007 as soon as applications are completed and supporting letters are received. Interviews occur on specific dates set by the program. Candidates invited for interviews will be asked to rank their preferred interview dates by mail. If an interview is offered to a student coming to San Francisco for a clerkship or any other reason, we will do our very best to arrange the interview during that time. Couples who plan to match together should state this in their application. Couples will be evaluated in the standard NRMP framework. Good luck in your application and interviews! We look forward to hearing from you soon! Sincerely, Katherine Julian, MD Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine, UCSF Director, UCSF Primary Care/General Internal Medicine Residency Program Please direct any additional inquiries to the Program Coordinator, Wendy Smith at (415) 476-4990 or wsmith@medicine.ucsf.edu
