Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS): Our program is listed under Preventive Medicine residencies. ERAS permits applicants to compile their application materials in a central secure web location such that each of their selected training programs can access the documents directly. There is a fee to applicants for this service. For more general information about ERAS visit: http://www.aamc.org/students/eras/start.htm

All applicants to the program who do not already possess an MPH must also complete a separate application to the UC Berkeley School of Public Health MPH (or MS) degree program. The deadline for this application is typically early December.

Applications are complete when we have: (1) a completed application form, with a one-page essay statement describing your interest in occupational and/or environmental medicine; (2) a certified original copy of your medical school transcript; and (3) a Dean's letter and three letters of recommendation.
