APPLICATION
Graduates of national or international medical schools are eligible
to apply. The application must include:
1) a completed application form
2) Dean's letter
3) four letters of reference (at least one from a psychiatrist)
4) curriculum vitae
5) medical school transcript
6) personal statement
Foreign citizens who wish to enter the United States for postgraduate
training must comply with United States immigration laws, in addition
to following the application procedures described above. Foreign
medical school graduates should contact the Education Commission
for Foreign Medical Graduates (3624 Market Street, Philadelphia,
PA 19104 [215-386-5900]) for details concerning their requirements.
We require graduates of foreign medical schools to have had six
months of training in an accredited American hospital and to have
passed Steps 1 & 2 of the USMLE. We sponsor only J-1 visas.
A strong command of the English language is a prerequisite.
When considering applications, we do take into account USLME scores
and number of attempts, as well as the number of years of medical
activities since completion of medical school. Applicants with specific
learning disabilities are encouraged to include this information
so that this can be taken into consideration when scores do not
reflect the otherwise outstanding achievements of the applicant.
Medical Students interested in Cambridge Health Alliance are encouraged
to consider a visiting clerkship in the Cambridge Health Alliance
Department of Psychiatry. For further information about applying
