How many residents are at USAF School of Aerospace Medicine?
USAF School of Aerospace Medicine has approximately 8 residents in training.
Does USAF School of Aerospace Medicine accept International Medical Graduates (IMGs)?
USAF School of Aerospace Medicine has not reported an IMG resident percentage to FREIDA, so MatchPath publishes none for this program — the figure is missing at the source, not withheld. Its visa sponsorship and PGY-1 salary are shown on this page wherever the program reports them. All of it is free to view, with no account needed.
Does USAF School of Aerospace Medicine sponsor J-1 or H-1B visas?
USAF School of Aerospace Medicine does not currently report J-1 or H-1B visa sponsorship to FREIDA. That means no sponsorship is listed at the source rather than that the program has ruled it out — confirm directly with the program if visa status decides your list.
What USMLE Step 2 CK score does USAF School of Aerospace Medicine require?
USAF School of Aerospace Medicine does not report a minimum USMLE Step 2 CK score, so MatchPath publishes no cutoff for this program — most programs do not publish one. Use its IMG percentage and the specialty's overall match data to gauge fit instead; both are on this page. All of it is free to view, with no account needed.
What is the resident salary at USAF School of Aerospace Medicine?
USAF School of Aerospace Medicine has not reported a PGY-1 salary to FREIDA, so this page shows it as not reported. Salary is set by the sponsoring institution and rises each training year through completion; the program or its GME office can confirm the current figure.
How do I apply to USAF School of Aerospace Medicine?
US residency programs accept applications through ERAS and rank applicants through the NRMP Match. Applications open in the fall, interviews run through winter, and Match results release in March. Save USAF School of Aerospace Medicine to your MatchPath tracker to manage it across the cycle.
