We appreciate your interest in the CHRISTUS Health and Texas A&M University Naresh K. Vashisht College of Medicine Emergency Medicine Residency Program (ACGME Program ID: 1104813188). Every academic year, we accept 12 PGY-1 residents.

Once the ERAS post office opens on September 1st, please submit your application. Our deadline for application submission is November 15th. Addendums to applications (SLOEs, etc.) will continue to be downloaded to existing files; however, applications received after the deadline are not guaranteed to be reviewed. Interviews are granted on a rolling basis until all interview dates are full.

A complete application includes the following:

• Completed ERAS application
• Official medical school transcript
