Frequently Asked Questions

Where is El Rio Health located?
El Rio Health is located in Tucson, AZ.
Is El Rio Health ACGME-accredited?
Yes — El Rio Health holds initial ACGME accreditation.
How many residents are at El Rio Health?
El Rio Health has approximately 4 residents in training.
Does El Rio Health accept International Medical Graduates (IMGs)?
El Rio Health 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 El Rio Health sponsor J-1 or H-1B visas?
El Rio Health 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 El Rio Health require?
El Rio Health does not report a minimum USMLE Step 2 CK score, so MatchPath publishes no cutoff for this program — most programs do not publish one.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 El Rio Health?
El Rio Health 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 El Rio Health?
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 El Rio Health to your MatchPath tracker to manage it across the cycle.
Does El Rio Health have unfilled or off-cycle positions?
Unfilled positions are offered through SOAP during Match week, and off-cycle vacancies can open year-round. MatchPath's Vacancies feed tracks open Family Medicine residency program positions as they appear.
