ECFMG status report from Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates is required. 

The J-1 alien physician visa sponsored by ECFMG is the preferred visa status for foreign national trainees in all UMN graduate medical education programs; therefore, the Department of Radiation Oncology sponsors only J-1 visas.  We do not sponsor H-1B visas.  More information on the J-1 visa can be found on the UMN-GME webpage.

All residency interviews will be conducted virtually via Zoom. We are committed to making sure that we offer the same experience virtually that we offer in person.
