after residency?
Our department has an MFM fellowship program with three Fellows. We also have
one Uro-Gyn Fellow who rotates at our hospital for one year, as part of a joint
fellowship program between Johns Hopkins, GBMC and the University of Maryland.
We have a very good success rate in getting residents into fellowship programs.
Our faculty have contacts with many programs/physicians and can help you pursue
any fellowship specialty.
What are my chances to be accepted
in your program?
We cannot answer this question based solely on USMLE scores and clinical experience.
We are looking for residents who will be 'a good fit' in our program.
This is determined when you interview with our faculty and meet our residents,
as well as by your residency application materials.

do I also need to take USMLE Step 1?

with no specific policy that excludes foreign medical graduates.

Our hospital sponsors J-1 visas only.
Do I need US clinical experience?
No, that is not a requirement.
Do IMGs need special certification?
Yes, IMGs need ECFMG certification.
Do you have a requirement for year of graduation
from medical school?
