Why C.H.H.A.
C.H.H.A. is here to work with international medical students (IMGs) to further their careers in the United States. The offered medical education in the US is held to a higher standard compared to other countries, so some residency programs see international medical education as a gap in your learning. Our goal is to help you build the foundation of a long and fulfilling career by placing you into the additional programs necessary for occupational and educational advancement in the US. Contact us today to figure out the next steps you need to take in your medical career and find a medical clerkship that aligns with your aspirations.
Overview
IMGs make up a significant part of the residency applicant pool. However, to be considered competitive candidates, they must train in ACGME-accredited hospitals. C.H.H.A. helps IMGs obtain quality US clinical experience and provides mentorship to aspiring physicians. With the help of our clinical and community partners, we’re able to place IMGs into residency positions and help them become better residents, fellows and students.

"Every preceptor I've had the opportunity of rotating with has been very willing to teach and has been very kind to me as a student. I have been taught how to have great bedside manners and how important it is to love what you do but most importantly your patients."
"The doctors have taught me valuable lessons on how to talk to patients, how to make diagnoses, and how to work out a plan for each individual patient, how to eliminate all the differentials and make the final diagnosis."
"The experience has been excellent! From surgical exposure to priceless clinical skills, it has been an outstanding program. The small group setting has really allowed me to connect with the doctors and engage in patient care."
