Here is the lists of questions

1. What family medicine experience will you have participated in before completing medical school? Indicate when and where these activities took place, the duration of each activity, and whether they were full or part time. We strongly recommend that all applicants have spent a minimum of 4 weeks full-time, or equivalent, with a practicing family physician, prior to being interviewed, and that this family physician write a letter to us in support of your application.

6. In what specific ways to you think YOU can contribute to this program?
7. Are you applying to any other specialties?
8. How did you hear about our program?
9. What are your interview date preferences?
The University of Washington, with whom we are affiliated, requires that the following questions be asked of all residency candidates in addition to those questions answered in your ERAS application. A "yes" answer to any of these questions requires and explanation. A positive response to a question does not necessarily preclude acceptance.
1. Have you ever been involved in a malpractice lawsuit or claim (whether or not you were individually named as a defendant)?
2. Have you ever been called before any entity for questioning concerning unprofessional conduct, incompetence, negligence, unsafe practices, or mental or physical impairment?
3. Have you ever been addicted to, or treated for addiction to, a controlled substance, drug or chemical?
4. Have you ever used a prescription drug, including controlled substances, for other than therapeutic purposes?
5. Are you currently suffering from any disability or illness (mental or physical) which could affect your ability to fully practice medicine?
