Interview information:



We conduct our interviews during the months of November, December, and January.



We have specific interviews dates set aside and we have a team of faculty who conduct all of our interviews.

Additional information for international applicants:
Experience: Experience in the specialty is desirable as is some experience in the United States. We will accept experience in clinical research, externships and observerships in psychiatry. We do not offer externships or observerships at our University. Applications without U.S. experience will be accepted by recent medical school graduates (those graduating within the past two years) and from candidates who have received residency training in psychiatry in international programs.


Scores: We prefer passing scores of 80 or above, and we generally do not accept more than 3 attempts on any of the step examinations. However, scores are one component of the application and may be influenced by number of attempts on an examination and the clinical experiences of the applicant.


We sponsor both H1-B and J-1 visas. However, it is our policy that anyone who wishes to enter training on an H1-B visa should pass their Step 3 examination before we submit our Match rank list, or be willing to enter the program on a J1 visa. We have the right to limit the number of H1-B visas we will offer each year.
Our deadline for applications is December 1; however, we will close applications once we have filled our interview schedule.


If you have additional questions, please contact the program. E-mail communication is preferred and you will receive a prompt response.

Do we accept visas? Yes, we accept J-1 visas only if they are granted through ECFMG. We generally do not initiate or support H-1 or other visas.

5. Must I submit my USMLE scores? Yes.
6. Does the applicant need U.S. clinical experience? Yes.
What kind? Supervised clinical experience of at least one month’s duration. Although preferable, this experience does not have to be in psychiatry.

The Psychiatry Residency Program of the George Washington University Medical Center solicits applications from international medical graduates, as well as graduates of United States medical schools. In selecting IMG applicants, we prefer a combined Step 1 USMLE score above 200, although other personal and professional experiences and competencies are weighed when examination scores are lower. Applicants are rarely selected with USMLE scores below 190 on Step I and Step II examinations. Competency in the English language and American culture is an important consideration. However, no US clinical experience is required. Based upon initial application materials, applicants are selected for personal interviews and final considerations for a position. Six residents are selected each year through the annual Match process. The PGY-II class is then expanded to six or seven residents each year through additional recruitment at the PGY-II level.
Visas accepted for Graduate Medical Education at GWU:
J-1 (Exchange Visitor Visa) sponsored through ECFMG. Application is processed by the GME Office. Note: The J-1 must be a clinical J-1 and not a research J-1. J-1 visas require the resident, upon completion of training, to return to his/her home country for two years before applying for permanent residency or return to the U.S. for other purpose
Permanent Resident
Green Card Visas
GWU does NOT accept / sponsor:H-1B,O,F-1

Q4. Does Jackson Memorial Medical Center sponsor H-1 or J-1 visas?
A4. Jackson Memorial Hospital provides J-1 visas for residents.
Q5. What is the deadline for applications?
A5. The earlier the better, but after December 15th, invitations for interviews will be limited.
Q6. Is there a requirement for U.S. experience?
A6. Yes, the requirement is for one full year of U.S. hospital clinical experience. Most usually, this is in the form of externships, rotations, observerships or similar activities involving daily patient contact in an inpatient setting. Experience in an allied field may be considered, such as nursing, physician assistant, mental health or health technician. This requirement is firm due to the high number of applications received.
Q7. How many positions are available?
A7. Generally, we take 10 PGY-1 residents through the Match and a variable number of PGY-2's outside the Match. The number of PGY-2 positions depends on the total number of slots available and changes from year to year.
Q8. Is there a limit for number of years since medical school graduation?
A8. Each applicant will be considered individually in this respect. Activities since graduation will be considered.

Chairman's Message

This is an exciting time to enter psychiatry training due to the major advances in our understanding of the causes and treatment of mental illness.
Our department strives to provide the highest level of patient care, innovative educational programs,
active research in mental illness and advocacy throughout the state of Kentucky and beyond.
I have been with the department for 30 years, first as a medical student, then as a resident, faculty member, residency training director and now as chair. Education has always been one of my personal priorities, a mission shared with others in our department. Our success in this area is evidenced by a history of teaching awards within the University of Kentucky and the addition of graduating residents to our faculty each year. Our residents are talented, dedicated professionals who have traditionally held positions of prominence and have won awards in local and national organizations. Our department has the distinction of being the only department to win the American College of Psychiatrists’ Award for Creativity in Psychiatric Education twice.
I hope you will take a closer look at the strength and breadth of our training programs and the involvement of our residents and faculty in all aspects of mental health care in the region. The warmth, friendliness and dedication of the people in our department along with excellence in research, patient care, outreach, innovative programming and commitment to education create a great environment for training. Those qualities have kept me here and I hope will make you seriously consider coming here. I invite you to take a closer look to see what the University of Kentucky is all about!
