The ISU Family Medicine Residency Program participates in the National Resident Matching program. First year applicants interested in applying to the program should apply through the Electronic Registration Applications Service (ERAS). U.S. and Canadian students should contact their medical school Dean’s Office for information regarding ERAS. Foreign medical school graduates must contact the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates, which will assist them in their ERAS application. The deadline for ERAS applications is the first Friday in November. The Residency does not accept applications outside of ERAS. Second year openings are filled by direct application to the program.

If an applicant is selected for an interview, interviews are scheduled every week, from November through January. Information concerning interview dates, accommodations, schedules and transportation will be provided to qualified applicants after preliminary file screening.

Pocatello maintains a small airport with connections to Salt Lake City, Idaho Falls, Boise and other cities. Candidates may consider flying into Salt Lake City and driving north on Interstate 15 (a two and one-half hour drive), or flying into Boise and heading east on Interstate 86, (a three and one-half hour drive). Many candidates choose to combine an interview in Pocatello with interviews at other programs in the Northwest region, such as Spokane, Boise, Billings and Ogden.
