Eligibility/Training Requirements

Provide documentation verifying your ability to practice radiology independently in the country where you were trained or board certified (if applicable).

• If you were trained in India, you don’t need to provide proof of board certification. You’ll need to hold an MBBS+DNB and/or MD degree, as India does not issue “certification” from a national organization.
• ?If you completed training outside of India, you’ll need to provide documentation of your certification and the duration of your residency.
