How to Apply

Every year, we select three residents. Only applicants who are enrolled in the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) will be considered for first year positions in these programs.

The NRMP Match Number 3198120C1 must be used when ranking the Providence St. Peter Chehalis Rural Training Program. This distinguishes our rural training program from our partner residency program at Providence St. Peter Family Medicine Program in Olympia, WA.

Applications are reviewed in the order they are submitted, so we encourage you to apply early. We only accept applications and materials through ERAS.

Interviews are conducted Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays in October and November. We will contact you via Thalamus to schedule an interview only after your application is complete and has been reviewed.

All pre-interview communications will come via ERAS. Our interviews are conducted virtually within Thalamus as well as in person.

Minimum requirements:

• Have passed within two attempts:
  • USMLE Part I and Part II CK OR
  • COMLEX Part 1 and Part 2 CE
• Submit two letters of recommendation, one of which MUST be from a family medicine physician with whom you have rotated.
• Have a clinical rotation of a least 8 weeks duration that involves DIRECT PATIENT CARE, with at least 6 weeks in a family medicine office in the United States.
• Have graduated from medical school within 1 year of beginning training in our program.
• International medical graduates must have an active, unrestricted ECFMG certificate and be eligible to work in the United States as of June 1 of the academic year in which they begin training (example: 6/1/22 for academic year 22-23).

NEW! AI guidance for the application process:

• It is acceptable to use AI to enhance your application by improving grammar, structure, and clarity. However, you must ensure it reflects your authentic voice, skills, and experiences.
• Please proofread carefully and avoid using AI to artificially enhance your story or present false information.
