If you presently hold a J-1 visa sponsored by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), you will be restricted to the accredited length of the program. Many of the NIH ACGME Programs have additional years for research training that the visa may not support. Regarding sponsorship of other visas, it is strongly suggested that you contact the individual training programs directly to discuss available options, if any.
