Ten residents per year are accepted through the National Resident Matching Program for the Spokane program, and two residents are accepted for the rural program in Colville, WA. You may apply to one or both of these programs.

We use your applications, transcripts, personal statements and letters of recommendation to select individuals to interview, whose goals and interests seem compatible with our medical residency programs.

Please apply early in September (when ERAS opens) to allow ample time to schedule interviews. We review applications immediately upon their transmittal through ERAS. Encourage those writing your letters of recommendation to send them early enough to your Dean’s Office that they can be transmitted before the middle of October.
