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
When is the deadline for my application to be considered? There is no strict deadline for applications but applicants who apply late are at a relative disadvantage because those applications that are completed early will receive priority for reviews and invitations to interview. source
- Visa
Do you sponsor visas for IMG's? As of currently, our program sponsors only J-1 visas through the ECFMG for residents. source
- USMLE / COMLEX
If I failed one of my Steps will you still consider my application if I passed on my second attempt? In general, we do not offer interview invitations to applicants who have failed any component of the USMLE or COMLEX. source
Would passing Step 3 benefit me in any way? Strong academic performance in basic science and clinical rotations, coupled with a good score on the USMLE Step 2 or COMLEX Level 2 is sufficient. source
For an applicant with an area of clinical or academic weakness, demonstrating the successful passage of additional steps or levels on the first attempt will be taken into consideration. source
- US clinical experience
Do you accept Externships or Observerships? Externships are coordinated through the medical school’s office of visiting students (https://medschool.vanderbilt.edu/md-admissions/visiting-medical-students) and are not coordinated with or a component of the residency program. source
- ECFMG
If you hold a foreign medical degree, a valid certificate from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) is also required. source

From the program's own website, updated Nov 15, 2026. Staff change, so check the source page before you write, and keep emails short: one clear question, your AAMC ID, and no attachments unless they ask.
Where current residents went to medical school
Counted from the program's own residents page (page 1 · page 2 · page 3 · page 4 · page 5) on Nov 15, 2026. We count lines that name a country or medical school, not people, and we do not store names, so treat the numbers as approximate and check the page.
The page did not name medical schools in a form we could read.
