Applications

We are one of the participating institutions in the Electronic Residency Application system (ERAS) sponsored by the American Association of Medical Colleges. In order to maintain equality and best evaluate each individual applicant, all communications are done through ERAS. No direct mailings are accepted and outside of mailing our brochure to the applicants that have requested them, no other mailings are anticipated.

The application process should be initiated by you at the student work station located in your Dean's Office. You merely have to check off the box listing State University of New York at Stony Brook and your application will be mailed to us electronically. All letters of recommendation are to be sent to your Dean's Office and they will be responsible for sending them to us through ERAS. We do not want letters of recommendation mailed directly to us. The only additional piece of information that we require is that you request an official transcript of your board scores from the various parts of the USMLE be sent to us DIRECTLY by the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME). Simply to provide us with the scores in your personal statement does not suffice. The request for an official transcript can be done through your Dean's Office and will be sent to us electronically by the NBME. If after reviewing your completed application we would like to offer you an interview, this too will be done through the Internet, using e-mail.

For further information about our application process, please contact our offices at tleonbruno@mail.som.sunysb.edu .
