If you passed USMLE Step 3:
For physicians trained outside the USA: we can help you apply for an H1B visa to be used during a 2 year Clinical and/or Research fellowship (with a "trainee" Ohio Medical license, which does not allow us to bill for your clinical services if done without supervision) . You could change your H1B status after 2 year fellowship (as a "trainee") to become a Radiology faculty member (and be eligable to apply for an Ohio Medical license) at the beginning of your third year in the USA - assuming that you find a job as an academic radiologist in Ohio. After spending 4 years total at the same USA academic medical center, you would be eligible (if you are a radiologist) to sit for the American Board of Radiology (ABR) examination. However you NEED to pass USMLE Step 3 to be able to apply for a H1 visa to start this process. If interested, contact us and let us know when you plan on taking USMLE Step 3.
