* IMGs applying to our program must be ECFMG certified by the time we submit our rank list in February. Emory University currently sponsors J-1 visas. We do not have any particular USMLE score at which we do/do not grant an interview, but those with the best scores have a better chance of getting invited. We do not require clinical experience in the US (such as an elective, externship or observership). We do not offer externships or observerships through the Residency Education Office.
