What is the Clinical Medicine Program (CMP)?

The Clinical Medicine Program (CMP) is a standardized clinical rotation program designed solely for the International Medical Graduate (IMG). A carefully planned program, the CMP provides GMCG IMG's with a comprehensive clinical experience in primary care, and, an introduction to various subspecialties. The CMP is primarily complemented with outpatient rotations among our network of teaching Attendings, which will allow you to receive clinical experience in your preferred specialty when applying for residency.

Why Choose the Clinical Medicine Program (CMP)?

The statistical data clearly shows that the number of IMG applicants applying for residency match every year is gradually increasing, as is the merit to attain these positions. Doctors coming from overseas to the U.S. are strongly advised to undertake at least 12 weeks of "hands-on" clinical experience. Such training will allow them to gain experience in the U.S. system of health care so as to prepare for USMLE Step 2 CS, and is required by most all, U.S. post graduate medical training programs for residency positions. However, the numbers of IMG applicants are such that they often find rotations difficult to obtain, or are provided with a very superficial Observership and lack of meaningful "hands-on" training.
