  • Does the program sponsor visas? No. The program accepts ECFMG sponsored J-1 Visas, but does it not directly sponsor J-1 or H-1 visas. Noncitizens will be asked to provide a copy of a document that establishes employment authorization by the date of their interview. A list of acceptable documents can be found at http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf.

  • Where can I get a listing of where your residents attended medical school? Please take a look at our "Resident section" for information pertaining to our current residents.

  • When does your program conduct interviews? Interviews will be conducted mid-October through mid-January. Our interviews start at 7:30 am and end by 2:00 pm.

  • Can my application be considered if I graduated more than five years before I apply? Not usually. We require completion of medical school within the last three (3) years of the commencement of residency. Occasionally we consider applicants who have earlier graduation dates if there are other compelling circumstances such as prior GME training or recent clinical experience. If you think that you possess those qualities you can appeal the initial non-selection and request a secondary review of your application.

    • We recommend that you make travel arrangements soon after you confirm your interview date. We are unable to reimburse interviewees for travel expenses. We suggest flying into Sacramento airport (one hour North) or Oakland Airport (one and a half to two hours West. San Francisco Airport is also a possibility, but you will encounter more traffic.

      The public transportation options from the airports are limited so we suggest that you rent a car. We suggest the following hotels for overnight accommodations:
