Pregunta: mi proposito es estudiar medicina en USA y quisiera saber como hacer mi solicitud

Responder: In the United States, medical studies generally follow completion of a bachelor’s degree. Admission to medical study in very competitive. Less than half of U.S. citizen applicants are accepted to medical school, and typically less than 3 percent of international applicants are accepted. In one year only 155 of the 16,221 students who entered medical school were foreign nationals, and most of them were individuals who had completed their undergraduate education in the United States. Because medical schools, particularly public medical schools, are funded largely by taxes raised in the states where they are located, admissions preference is usually given to residents of that state. Some state-supported schools will consider only U.S. citizens and permanent residents for admission.

First Professional Degree

Medical school usually lasts four years and students graduate with the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree. Study combines classroom experience with observation and clinical work. Admissions requirements include undergraduate degree, preferably from a U.S.-accredited institution. Degrees in almost any discipline are acceptable as long as the student’s course load includes the required minimum number of prerequisite courses. Additional requirements include an excellent undergraduate academic record, fluency in English, and extracurricular activities such as work experience and volunteer commitments; and a satisfactory score on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT).

Postgraduate Training

Many foreign nationals who receive their first degree in medicine (M.D.) in their home country choose to continue their graduate medical education in the United States. To be eligible to practice medicine in the United States, all physicians, regardless of whether they were educated in the United States or outside the United States, must:

*receive their first professional medical degree from a medical school accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education;

*complete a period of residency or graduate medical education;

*pass state licensure examinations.

Steps to a U.S. Medical Residency

In the United States, the residency is the essential final step in preparing physicians to practice medicine independently. Before undertaking the residency, U.S. students have completed undergraduate study, and then spent four more years in medical school to achieve the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree, focusing on mastery of basic medical sciences and learning to apply that knowledge to clinical problems.

The residency, usually lasting three to seven years, builds on this experience. It allows participants to gain expertise in a medical specialty and to gradually take on increasing responsibility for patient care within a supervised clinical environment.

International medical graduates (IMGs) may gain particular benefit from a U.S. residency experience. Advanced medical technology and facilities, expert faculty, and the wide variety of educational programs available in the United States (approximately 8,000 educational programs in over 100 specialty and subspecialty areas are currently accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education), can make U.S. study an exciting opportunity.

IMGs should be aware that the route to residency is not easy and that openings tend to be highly competitive. Before beginning, it is important to realistically assess such areas as one’s level of medical knowledge, English language skills, educational background, ability to obtain a visa for required testing and interviews in the United States, and goals and how closely they match their home country needs (the ministry of health will be expected to support the final residency visa application).

Applying to a Residency Program

The process involved in applying to a U.S. residency program as an IMG is not simple but it can be deciphered. The first essential is to obtain certification from the Educational Commission on Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). Testing required for this certification may be begun while still in medical school, though the IMG must receive the final medical diploma before being actually certified.

Most programs require applicants to submit their applications using the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS®). ERAS was developed by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) to transmit residency applications via the Internet.

ECFMG coordinates the ERAS application process for IMGs. Programs that do not participate in ERAS require applicants to use papers application materials. It is important that applicants contact programs directly for their requirements.

Eligibility and Certification Requirements

To apply for ECFMG certification, applicants must be international medical students or graduates. This means that their medical school is located outside of the United States and Canada. U.S. citizens who graduate from such schools are considered IMGs and are eligible to apply for ECFMG certification. Non-U.S. citizens who graduate from schools in the United States and Canada are not considered IMGs and are not eligible for ECFMG certification.

Additionally, their medical school must be listed in the International Education Directory (IMED) of the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER®). If applicants are medical school graduates, their graduation year must be included in their school’s IMED listing. If they are students, the “Graduation Years” in IMED for their medical school must be listed as “Current.”

Eligibility

To be eligible for certification, applicants must be graduates from a medical school that meets the requirements described above, and fulfill the following additional medical education credential requirements:

*Applicants must have had at least four credit years (academic years for which credit has been given toward completion of the medical curriculum) ata medical school listed in IMED.

*They must supply ECFMG with copies of their medical diploma, and ECFMG must receive verification of their diploma directly from their medical school. The exact name of the medical credential they must supply is listed in ECFMG’s Reference Guide for Medical Education Credentials, available on the ECFMG website.

Applicants for ECFMG certification must also pass the following exams:

*USMLE Step 1 and Step 2. Applicants register for theses exams with ECFMG and take them worldwide at test centers of Prometric®, part of Thomson Corporation.

*Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL). Applicants register for the TOEFL exam with the Educational Testing Service (ETS®) and take the exam in Prometric test centers or certified testing centers (e.g. Binational Centers, Fulbright Commissions, etc.) worldwide.

*ECFMG Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA®). Applicants register for the CSA with ECFMG and take it at one of ECFMG’s test centers in the United States. The CSA can be taken either before or after passing the USMLE Step 2, but candidates must pass the USMLE Step 1 and the TOEFL before taking the CSA.

Applying for ECFMG Certification

The certification process begins when applicants send your first exam application to ECFMG. Before applying for examination, applicants must read the appropriate edition of the ECFMG Information Booklets for Step 1, Step 2 and the CSA.

Both medical school students and graduates can begin the certification process. All of the required exams are offered continuously throughout the year. However, since one of the requirements for ECFMG certification is verification of the applicant’s medical diploma with their medical school, they can not complete the process until they graduate and receive their medical diploma.

There is not time limit fro completing the certification process. However, there are specific time requirements for completing certain exams for ECFMG certification, entry into graduate medical education programs and medical licensure.

The academic year for U.S. graduate medical education programs typically begins in July. Applicants must be certified by ECFM before their program’s start date, although they can apply to programs before becoming certified.

Visa Requirements

IMGs who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents must obtain an appropriate visa to participate in U.S. graduate medical education programs. The most common visa employed for this purpose is the J-1 visa. ECFMG is authorized by the U.S. Department of State to sponsor foreign national physicians for the J-1 visa.

Applicants should contact a designated sponsor (ECFMG for a J-1 visa, the residency program for an H-1B visa) t obtain certification to apply for a visa. A curriculum vitae, letter form the home country ministry of health, and other materials will be required.

Once certification to apply is received, contact a U.S. embassy or consulate to apply for a visa. Be prepared to document both study plans and intent to return home.

Important to remember:

Applicants for a J-1 visa (eligible for ECFMG sponsorship), must

*Have passed the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 (or other exams acceptable for visa purposes);

*Hold a valid Standard ECFMG Certificate (U.S. or Canadian medical school graduate are exempt from his requirement);

*Hold a contract or an official letter of offer for a position in an accredited program of graduate medical education or training; and

*Provide statement of need from he Ministry of Health of the country of nationality or last legal permanent residence. This statement must provide written assurance that the country needs specialists in the area in which the physician will receive training. It also serves to confirm the physician’s commitment to return to that country upon completion of training in the United States.
