Interviews are by invitation and are scheduled from late August through October. Candidates are chosen for interview on the basis of their medical training, general achievements and personal qualities.

To be eligible for appointment, all international citizens must be sponsored by the ECFMG for the J-1 non-immigrant Visa classification and have and maintain valid ECFMG certification throughout the length of their training program.
