Additional information for International Medical Graduate Applicants:

  • ECFMG Certification (Full or Provisional) - For interview selection, it is preferred but not mandatory. It is a requirement prior to the ranking deadline. For information related to the several pathways for ECFMG certification, review the ECFMG Certification Requirements for the Match (outside link).

  • U.S. clinical experience (includes observerships) - not required.

  • Visa sponsorship – The institution sponsors J-1 visas only.

  • Time since graduation - we do not have specific requirements but prefer less than 5 years. All post-graduation activity is reviewed and evaluated.
