Each year, our program has traditionally matched a few highly competitive international medical graduates. Requirements for consideration for an interview include:

• Three letters of support
• Dean's letter
• Copy of medical school transcript
• Medical school graduation within 5 years of starting internship
• USMLE scores of 85 or greater
• Eligibility for licensure in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
• Preference will be given to those applicants with clinical experience in the US (any duration), research experience, and/or letters from US faculty
• We sponsor J1 visa for all candidates. A consideration for H1B visa sponsorship (no cap) is made on an individual basis, depending on the availability of USMLE step 3 results.
  

All candidates completing these requirements will be considered by the Residency Selection Committee on a competitive basis with graduates of US medical schools.
