We invite highly qualified individuals from medical schools outside the United States and Canada to apply for pediatric residency at Duke University.

 

To be considered, the applicant must have completed at least one rotation of no less than one month's duration on an in-patient service at a major teaching hospital in the United States or Canada. The applicant must have direct patient responsibility during this rotation, in the role of an "acting intern." Time spent on consultant services and observerships do not fulfill this requirement.

 

One of the three required letters of recommendation must be from the physician supervising the internal medicine or pediatric clerkship in the United States or Canada. Other letters of recommendation should be from individuals familiar with the applicant's work.

 

We do not require USMLE Step 2 for application to the program. There is no mimimum USMLE score, but we do require a passing score.

 

There is no maximum number of years since medical school graduation.

 

Pediatric applicants must be ECFMG certified prior to the match and Med/Peds applicants must be certified before they will be offered an interview.

 

We sponsor J-1 visas for international residents in Pediatrics and H-1 visas for internationals in the Med/Peds program. Approximately 10% of the doctors in our program are IMGs.
