STATEN ISLAND UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL NY

19. ARE THERE SPECIFIC USMLE/COMLEX SCORE “CUTOFFS?”<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O />

No, but we generally look for candidates whose scores are at least “average.” For example, a USMLE score of 80 is usually about the average mark for any given year.

20. IS THERE A SPECIFIC GRADUATION YEAR “CUTOFF?”

There is no specific cutoff for your graduation year. However, we prefer candidates who have recently (within 2 years) graduated from or are currently in medical school or graduate medical training. Those candidates that have completed medical school or other form of training AND are currently in FULL-TIME clinical practice are also eligible for application.

21. IS USA EXPERIENCE REQUIRED FOR INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL GRADUTES?

No, but it is very favorable to have this experience. A letter of recommendation from the site is required for us to include this in your application.

22. DO OBSERVERSHIPS COUNT TOWARDS USA EXPERIENCE?

Yes.

23. DO YOU OFFER OBSERVERSHIPS OR EXTERNSHIPS?

No.

I wont apply to this one because i think they wont consider anyone >2 yrs away from grad.

Great thread, guys. Have not started sending e-mails yet. It seems chance for old graduates like me is getting dimmer and dimmer.
