Medical residents are not entitled to the student exception for FICA, according to the IRS Office of Chief Counsel (Tax Exempt and Governmental Entities). The IRS has concluded that generally, unless the facts are virtually identical to those in the Eighth Circuit case (University of Minnesota where residents pay tuition), services provided by medical residents are not incident to and for the purpose of pursuing a course of study, but rather a form of on-the-job training, and therefore not entitled to the statutory exception from FICA.

All residents in GMEC approved programs are required to successfully complete the USMLE Step 3 examination or COMLEX Part 3 examination, as evidenced by obtaining a passing grade for that examination, prior to the mid-point of the second post-graduate year (PGY2).

 All fellows entering GMEC approved programs must have successfully completed the USMLE Step 3 examination or COMLEX Part 3, as evidenced by obtaining a passing grade for that examination, prior to starting a fellowship.

For more information, please review the USMLE and COMLEX Policy.
