Application Procedure for International Medical Graduates (IMG’s)
International medical graduates must have graduated from medical school no more than eight years ago if not currently engaged in active medical practice. Applications will only be accepted through ERAS. J-1 visas are the normal status required for residency training. Applicants must have passed Parts 1 and 2 of the USMLE on the first attempt, including the English language and clinical skills assessment exam (CSA). There are no minimum score requirements but priority will be given to those with the highest scores. Priority will be given to applicants who either practiced Psychiatry in their home country or who obtained a neuroscience-related graduate degree in this country. The personal statement should be well written, demonstrate a command of written English, and provide information regarding the applicant’s interest in Psychiatry. Some international medical graduates selected to interview may be asked to perform a brief, live psychiatric evaluation of a patient as part of the interview process.
