All application packages must include: 

• Personal Statement

• Photograph
• Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) for International Medical Graduates Only (Please note that UT Southwestern Medical Center routinely sponsors J-1 visas. We can discuss with applicants directly if they have a specific question about other visa sponsorship.)

Residents must be eligible to rotate at each of our clinical training sites. Most sites require proof of COVID-19 vaccination, and some sites do not allow for exemptions to this requirement.
