- Recent photo (passport type and size)
- Three letters of recommendation from persons familiar with your clinical performance

Interviewing
Interviews begin in October and end mid-December. Once your application has been reviewed, the department coordinators will contact you with a list of available interview dates.
Matching & Onboarding
Our Residency Programs participate in the NRMP Match.
After Match day, you will receive information from the coordinator for your program. This information will detail the process to become an Eastern Connecticut Health Network (ECHN) employee and resident physician.
You will also receive an offer letter and/or a resident employment agreement.
