Application Process

Thank you for your interest in the WellSpan York Hospital EM Residency Program!  We are very excited about our upcoming 2023 interview season that will be a hybrid format, offering both in-person and virtual interview dates. To mitigate any bias, and to maximize fairness and equity, the interview formats will be identical with the exception of an in-person ED tour and lunch. The format chosen will not be used in any determination of the rank list process and is entirely up to applicant preference. 

• Applications are done exclusively through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). 
• We do read every aspect of your residency application so we appreciate the time and effort you have put into this.  Please note that your USMLE or COMLEX scores are required as part of your application.  A passing score on Step 1 and both portions of Step 2 of the USMLE exam is strongly encouraged.  

We will begin offering interviews the first week in October, and continue to offer interviews on a rolling basis throughout the interview season.  Our first interview date is Monday, October 16, 2023 and subsequent interview dates take place on Mondays in November, December, and January through January 15. Optional in-person second looks will be held throughout the interview season.

If you have an interest in our program and have not heard back from us regarding an interview, please contact our Program Director, Dr. Amber Billet and let her know of your interest (abillet5@wellspan.org.)

Please feel free to contact Carrie Downey if you have any questions at  (717) 851-5064, or cdowney3@wellspan.org.  If you need to reach someone else in the Residency Program or Department of Emergency Medicine, please call the ED office number: (717) 851-2450.
