Application Requirements and Details


Each fellow must successfully complete an ACGME-accredited residency and meet other criteria as specified by the ACGME Review Committee. 

An interview will take place between January and April.

The deadline for applications is January 15 each year.

International Candidates


Children's Mercy primarily accepts applicants with J-1 Visa status. 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. Applicants must also have participated in a Canadian or US ACGME accredited residency program.  In some cases, Children's Mercy will sponsor an H-1B Visa.
