  2. In addition to the standard application materials required by Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education, this program requires:
  • A letter of recommendation from your residency program director or the department chair.

Note: According to the ruling by the Immigration Service, international medical graduates with J-1 visas are permitted to complete only one year as a fellow in clinical neurophysiology, as CNP fellowships are accredited for one year by the ACGME.

Applicants considered for an appointment will be invited for a personal interview with the program director and selected faculty.

Most interviews are conducted from December through March of each year.
