What the program's website says
Sentences quoted word for word from the program's own website, updated Nov 16, 2026. They are not checked by us: a page may be old or cover several programs, so open the source link before you rely on it.
- Interviews
We begin our interview season in October and end in the middle of January. source
- Visa
Cooper University Healthcare sponsors J1 visas and, at its sole discretion, H1B visas for immigrant physicians entering the Neurology Program. source
The H1B visa allows professional foreign physicians to work in the US in specialty occupations for up to six years, thus 4 of your 6-year eligibility will be exhausted by this program. source
If you currently hold H-1B status at another program, you must have sufficient eligibility remaining to complete the program. source
- USMLE / COMLEX
USMLE step 2/ COMLEX 2 scores at the time of application are helpful but not required source
Once a candidate seeking the H1B visa has matched at Cooper Neurology, USMLE/COMLEX Steps 1-3 must be completed and supporting documentation sent to the Neurology program by April 15. source
If the candidate is unable to provide step 3 completion by this date, a J1 visa will be required instead. source
- Letters of recommendation
Letters of Recommendation: 3 letters of recommendation (preferably at least 1 from a neurologist). source
Recommendation letters should be addressed according to ERAS instructions. source
While test scores are helpful; we also give high emphasis on evaluations from letters of recommendation, scholarly and extracurricular activities. source
