Each year The Johns Hopkins Department of Pediatric Neurology selects four individuals to join their residency training program. All resident positions are categorical, with the first two years of training completed in the Johns Hopkins Department of Pediatrics and the final three in the Department of Neurology.

The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (SOM) sponsors international residents and fellows for J-1 ECFMG alien physician exchange visitor status. This applies to residents and fellows joining the SOM from abroad, as well as those individuals in the U.S. in another nonimmigrant status.

The SOM sponsors H-1B temporary worker status in limited circumstances, specifically:

• Residents who have earned their Medical Degree [M.D.] in the U.S. and are currently in an ACGME-accredited clinical training program on Optional Practical Training
  OR
• Residents who are currently completing their ACGME-accredited residency in the U.S. on an H-1B *and* where there is sufficient H-1B time remaining for the offered residency or fellowship.
  OR
• Fellows who are currently completing their ACGME-accredited fellowship in the U.S. on an H-1B *and* where there is sufficient H-1B time remaining for the offered residency or fellowship.

There are no specific requirements for foreign medical graduates. Every application is considered on an individual basis. However, all IMGs must be certified by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG).
