University of Miami – UMPIRE Program for International students: The University of Miami Program for International Research and Education: The program is an innovative offering for Foreign Medical Graduates, in conjunction with Dr. Nirmala Swami Charitable Trust
The program
The match procedure for a United States (US) residency is a complex and difficult process. As the gap between the number of available residency positions in the US and the number of graduating US medical students narrows, the amount of positions available to international medical graduates decrease.
To successfully match into a training position there are multiple criteria such as scores on the United States Medical Licensure Examination, previous US medical experience and prior participation in research. Therefore, preparing for this process and enhancing the educational grounding of highly selected international medical graduates in research, clinical experience and exposure to the US medical system will be beneficial.
