Presently, there is one program available in the US - New York Medical College - NYMC has adapted their former fifth pathway program as Pre-Internship to satisfy the requirements for the UAG year of Internado.
A student completing the Internado (Pre-Internship) program at NYMC will receive a Certificate of Completion. A copy of this Certificate, along with all of the necessary additional documents, is sent to UAG medical school in order to provide the required documentation for your Título. UAG will mail a copy of the Título and final transcript with translation to ECFMG.
The Título will be verified by the school to ECFMG for your ECFMG Certification. Once you have your ECFMG Certification, you will be eligible to enter Residency (you must provide this certification to your residency director in order to begin your residency).
