The University of Colorado's International Student and Scholar Services office is a great resource for international medical graduates either as an applicant or trainee in the program. We highly encourage you to review their website for more information, in addition to the below Frequently Asked Questions.
Absolutely. We are dedicated to fostering diversity by actively recruiting International Medical Graduates (IMGs) from diverse backgrounds into our residency program. We perform a comprehensive, holistic review for all applications submitted to us regardless of graduate types, years since graduation, etc. We currently have 6 IMGs in our program and have graduated many more.
We sponsor both J1 and H1B visas. The type of visa sponsored will be determined in consultation with our International Student and Scholar Services office. They assess your current visa status, where you are in the process, and the visa type you will need. Residents in our program must be a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., a refugee or asylee, or possess the appropriate documentation to allow the Resident to legally train at the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine.
You must take USMLE Step 3 by the time you submit your rank list if applying for an H1B visa. Your results should then be available by the time the match occurs (mid-March). The exception is if you have the option to be on an F1 OPT visa for your first year. If you do not take your USMLE Step 2 and USMLE Step 3 by December 31st, 2024 it is unlikely that you will be able to start your training on time with H1b status.
No, we do not require this but recommend at least one month of hands-on clinical experience in a U.S. healthcare system. Tele-health rotations do count, but we do not count observerships or research as hands-on clinical experience.
International Medical Graduates are required to be ECFMG certified at the time of application or far enough along in the application process that you will receive certification no later than February 1 of the year in which you plan to match. Otherwise, there are no other special requirements for International Medical Graduates.
You will need to get a letter of recommendation from a senior faculty member of medicine in replacement of a chair's letter of recommendation.
You are looking for the program that will train you to be the doctor you always wanted to be. At the University of Colorado, we value diversity of training, autonomy, and collegiality. Our graduates are well-prepared for any and all career choices, built on a foundation of clinical excellence. We offer five different pathways (Clinical Educator, Global Health, Health Equity / Health Disparity, Leadership, and Research), five different tracks (Categorical, Primary Care, Hospitalist, Preliminary year, Physician Scientist Training Program), and three primary clinical sites to support your development as a physician. Importantly, not only do we collaborate to provide the best care possible to our patients, we also enjoy life together in the city of Denver and everything Colorado has to offer.
