How to Apply

Application Criteria

Bayfront Health St. Petersburg’s Family Medicine Residency Program follows the standard academic calendar year, starting in July and ending in June of the following year.

• Medical school transcript
• Written personal statement
• Three (3) letters of recommendation, current within the last 18 months (at least one should be from a member of the family medicine department of school, affiliated hospital or elective course)
• Preference for USMLE Steps I and II score of at least 220, or higher, on first attempt (must have passing score on USMLE Steps I and II or COMLEX Levels 1 and 2 when residency begins)
• Copy of Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduate (ECFMG) certificate, if applicable (we do not sponsor any visas)
• Able to be granted a full and unrestricted license to practice medicine in Florida
• Completed medical school no more than one year prior
