International Medical Graduate Applicants to Our Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship

International Medical Graduates

Thank you for your interest in our program. We accept international medical students and graduates into our program and are looking for select individuals who have recent US clinical experience and above average USMLE scores.  

  • International Medical Graduates to our Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship should have already completed a U.S. accredited Internal Medicine Residency.
  • All applicants must submit passing results for USMLE Step 1 , Step 2 (both CK and CS), and Step 3 prior to submitting your NRMP rank list.
  • Applicants who have Permanent Resident visa status (i.e., a Green Card) may apply to our GME programs.
  • We can sponsor non-U.S. Citizen applicants for J-1 visas only (i.e., we cannot sponsor an incoming or continuing Fellow for an H-1B visa).
  • International Medical Graduates must hold the standard certificate from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) before entering our training programs.
