Frequently Asked Questions

1. If I am a foreign medical graduate how do I go about obtaining a Letter of Evaluation from the Medical Board of California?
In order to complete a fellowship here at UCLA you must be board certified or board eligible in medicine. If you are licensed in another state you do not need to obtain a letter of eligibility. If you are not licensed, obtaining the letter is very similar to applying for licensure. Please see http://www.medbd.ca.gov for more information. You must contact the Medical Board of California to receive the letter or license.

The University of California can only support J-1 visas for our clinical trainees. Applicants interested in the STAR program need to be permanent residents or US citizens.
