Authorization to Work in the United States Applicants must have appropriate work authorization at the time of application and for the duration of training. 2. Medical School Recognition Applicants must have received all medical education from, and graduated from: 1. A U.S. or Canadian medical school accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), the Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical Schools, or the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA); or 2.
