Preliminary Program Requirements 

Applicants to other disciplines (i.e. anesthesia, dermatology, neurology, radiology), requiring a preliminary year must submit a separate ERAS application to our Internal Medicine Preliminary Program in addition to the specialty application.  Efforts are made to coordinate interview dates with other subspecialty interviews at Hershey but can not be guaranteed. Separate interview dates may not be necessary depending on the specialty program.

For further information regarding our program, please contact Debbie Stevens at dstevens@hmc.psu.edu

The NRMP requires all interviewees to receive a copy of the resident contract.  This Resident Agreement is subject to the terms of other contracts and legal documents.
