QUALIFICATIONS
REQUIRED:
Back to top
Basic
Qualifications for AD-0602 (Medical Officer): Applicants must possess a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor
of Osteopathy from a school in the United States or Canada approved by a
recognized accrediting body in the year of the applicant's graduation. [A
Doctor of Medicine or equivalent degree from a foreign medical school that
provided education and medical knowledge substantially equivalent to
accredited schools in the United States may be demonstrated by permanent
certification by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates
(ECFMG) (or a fifth pathway certificate for Americans who completed
premedical education in the United States and graduate education in a foreign
country).]
Foreign

biological or physical sciences, food technology, or animal sciences,
