For application requirements, the program considers the application in its entirety without specifying minimum score requirements but emphasizes the number of attempts. Recent graduates are preferred, although applications up to five years post-graduation with clinical experience are considered. The program accepts both J1 and a limited number of H1 visas, with a passing Step 3 result required for the possibility of an H1 visa and a passing Step 2 CK result strongly encouraged.
