Program Overview

Our program is designed around the needs of our medical students and foreign medical graduates. As such, our program is constantly developing to fit the needs of our international medical doctors and foreign medical students.

We offer programs with the goal of obtaining an ACGME residency. Our clinical observership, clinical clerkships (clinical elective rotations), and clinical externship programs have your residency in mind.

We offer placement in clinical and hospital settings, giving you plenty of opportunity to improve skills in medical history taking, performing a physical exam, evidence based medical diagnosis, interpretation of laboratory values, presentation of medical topics, and medical procedures.

Our program is unique in that you will have the option to expose yourself to the community in community health initiatives, allowing you to network with various medical professionals AND help build your English language confidence.

We add clinical sites on a regular basis based on the requests we receive.  If you are interested in a specialty that isn’t listed, please contact us.
