We welcome students from around the world to practice and train in our elite DPM program, and we’re available to assist you throughout your transition to NYCPM.
As an international student, there are some additional steps and requirements to consider for the application process, beyond our general admissions requirements. If you have any questions, please contact our admissions team!
Course Evaluations
Academic pre-professional requirements for international students are equivalent to those for American students, taking into account the differences among higher education systems in various countries.
You will need to submit certified course-by-course evaluation of foreign credentials by World Education Services or Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE), as well as English translation of credentials, if not originally in English.
For International Students Seeking Advanced Standing
Applicants who have earned a degree from a school listed as eligible by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) and passed the USMLE Step I within the past three years are eligible to be considered for advanced standing (placement ahead in the program) at NYCPM.
If the above requirements are met, international students seeking advanced standing must:
- Submit a written request for advanced standing at the time of application
- Supply official USMLE score reports
- Supply a certified course-by-course evaluation of their higher educational record, including evaluation of medical and other specialty degrees
Such requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Applicants who have earned a degree from an international medical school but who have not taken or passed USMLE Step 1 are only eligible to apply to enter NYCPM as first-year students.
All students granted advanced standing, must attend a minimum of the final two years of full-time study at NYCPM to satisfy requirements for the DPM degree.
