Hi there
Can anybody give some light about the process of J1 visa or any other visa for an IMG in an Internship program in PR ,I have been selected in the out of cycle and my date of joining is January2015?
The Hospital has no accreditation with the ACGME but it has accreditation with the PR Medical Board or Licensing Board and Ministry of Health in PR.
Please help,,,
Thanks

Are you sure it isn't ACGME? Do state medical boards even accept non-acgme training for medical licensure after residency, and what about board certification?

Hi drbacchi
Please give more input if you have any information.
This program is in Ponce,PR and it is not accredited to ACGME(I have confirmed by calling ACGME office) and the program is accredited by the state and ministry of health in PR.
My query how can I obtain J1 visa or any other visa to join the Internship program at that program for 1 year.
Please help,,,
