In addition to the standard ERAS documentation, applicants can indicate additional interest by including a supplemental paragraph at the end of their personal statement describing how the Greer program is uniquely suited to their priorities for residency training.
For allopathic medical school applicants we require successful completion of the USMLE Step 1 and USMLE Step 2 CK. (Due to possible delays caused by the pandemic, Step 2 score not expected at time of initial application review.)
For osteopathic medical school applicants we require successful completion of COMLEX Level 1 and COMLEX Level 2 CE. (Due to possible delays caused by the pandemic, Level 2 score not expected before initial application review.)
For all applicants, if not graduating from medical school in this current training year, successful completion of USMLE Step 3 or COMLEX Level 3 is encouraged.

We delight in meeting prospective residents! Upon receipt and review of the above information, carefully chosen applicants will be invited to arrange a mutually convenient time for interviews via Thalamus. Final acceptance to the program is at the discretion of the department chair and the residency training program director, upon the advice of the Resident Selection Committee. Initial appointment to the program is for one year and reappointment for each subsequent year is based on the resident’s performance.
