IMPORTANT NOTICE TO NON-U.S AND NON-CANADIAN STUDENTS: In order to complete the program in medicine, students from outside the US and Canada may need to obtain certain visas in order to undertake all or a portion of the requisite clinical training in affiliated hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. Additionally, all students from outside the US and Canada will need certain visas to take one or more segments of the USMLE exams in the U.S. These visas are solely the student's responsibility to obtain. The School understands that as a result of policies or practices adopted by the U.S. State Department, a number of medical students from outside the U.S. and Canada have been unable to obtain the required visas. Students from outside the U.S. and Canada who are unable to obtain the necessary visas will not be able to complete the School's degree program. In such a case, no refund of tuition or other expenses incurred in connection with his or her attendance at the School will be made.
