Residency Tracks
ERAS and NRMP
Our program offers seven total Categorical PGY-1 positions in Family Medicine for
July 1, 2025 -- six Categorical Family Medicine Positions and one Categorical Rural
Family Medicine Track position. All applicants for both tracks must go through the
Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) to apply to our program. Finally,
all our PGY-1 positions are committed through the National Resident Matching Program
Main Match (NRMP).
Our Family Medicine ACGME Program Number is 1204731584. Our Categorical Family Medicine Program's NRMP code is 1689120C0. Within ERAS, applicants for the traditional Categorical Family Medicine Program
would indicate that track on the application within ERAS.
Our Family Medicine Program has also been approved by the ACGME to offer a Rural Family
Medicine Track. This track still falls under the ACGME Program # 1204731584.
Both tracks are available within the ERAS application system, so you when you submit
your applications in ERAS, you should if you are applying for the Categorical Family
Medicine Program Track, the Categorical Rural Family Medicine Program Track, or both.
After interviews are concluded and applicants are ready to submit their rank preference
lists through the NRMP Main Matching Program, please be aware that there are two separate
Program #s for our two Family Medicine Programs:
- NRMP Program Code #1689120C0 for our traditional Family Medicine Categorical Track
- NRMP Program Code #1689120C1 for our Rural Family Medicine Track
If you are only interested in our traditional Family Medicine Residency, you would include Program #1689120C0 in your rank list.
If you are only interested in our Rural Family Medicine Track Residency, you would include Program #1689120C0 in your rank list.
If you are interested in both our traditional Categorical Family Medicine Program and in our Rural Track Program, you would include both program codes in your Main Match Rank Lists.
