I completed residency in my home country (Cuba) and practiced for several years. Two years ago I worked in another country without being certified there, so it was basically illegal, although the doctor that hired me, was eager to assume responsability.(Private practice setting). This was two years ago.
How can I explain this to the programs.?
The clinical experience could be helpful, but it is difficult for me to prove it. Although maybe not impossible, it would be difficult to ask this doctor to write a letter confirming that I worked with him, since he was doing something not totally legal.
Thanks in advance for the advice

Hi doctor Jorggles
You are lucky that you have clinical experience , it will stay in your personal experience in practicing in any country ,
but I am positive that they are asking for United State clinical expr.
you can ask for an observership or even clerkship some where in us ,
Do not worry you will get there
GOOD LUCK

just tell them you had clinical experience in whatever country you practiced and thatīs it. They wonīt ask you to prove how legal or illegal your job was. Of course not. Don't worry. But if you can, try to get some experience in U.S. too.

Jorge don't push yourself to hard. i am also from cuba and worked as physician in Venezuela....but ECMFG/programs director/others do not care. they need to know aobut any US experience and that's it. free advice: anyway, don't let prolonged"gap" in your history. It doesn't help neither.
good luck
