Admissions

The curriculum of the International Graduate Medical Education Program is designed for self-directed adults who choose to integrate advanced study with their professional lives. Adhering to the premise that a student's success is related most closely to the applicant's past experience and individual motivation toward future goals, the application process focuses on assessing each learner's unique background.

The admissions committee will consider all aspects of an applicant's background credentials in determining whether or not to recommend admission. As such, learners who do not specifically meet all criteria may discuss their particular situations with a representative of the admissions committee.

The International Graduate Medical Education Program offers continuous enrollment in programs. Learners may enter the program at any time, pay for and enroll in their program courses sequentially, or all at once. Once enrolled, learners will be allotted consecutive six-month intervals for each course opened (ie, 12 months for two courses, 18 months three courses, etc.). Learners  who are unable to complete the courses in the allotted times will be notified up to three times before being put on probation. Failure to complete the courses in a reasonable interval will result in the learner's suspension, until they notify IGME that they are prepared to complete each opened course. IGME may require a completion schedule.
