you for your interest in our program. We do not have any Post Match positions. We do not offer externships, observerships, research or volunteer positions. You may apply through ERAS, between September 1 and December 15. We like to see 80 and above on the USMLE exams and we like to see US psychiatry experience (at least 3 months clinical or research). We sponsor both H-1 and J-1 visas.

this programme need 3 months usce or research and in match 2008 they offered prematch to candidate who has not tht much usce or research...so should i apply to programme which hav this kind of requiremnt

Yes even I have heard of a program which says USCE is compulsary but sent out interview calls to people without USCE,dont know if they matched there,

Even I was confused how do we deal with these programs in the sense should we apply/not apply?Should we call them to confirm the criteria?

Read this again folks. It says:

we like to see US psychiatry experience (at least 3 months clinical or research).

It says "like" to see - not that it's mandatory.

True, it did say that they "like" to see above 80 in scores - again, it's a preference, but not a requirement.
