  List of employment in U.S. during past six years (dates, job title, name and address of employer) and visa status for each position.

  Copies of Form I-201D/EAD (if ever on F-1 status in U.S.)

  Copies of Form I-171C or I-797 (if ever on H-1 status in U.S.).

Candidates May Be Required to Take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)

House officers are required to communicate proficiently in written and spoken English with clients, colleagues and students and therefore, must have a sufficient command of the English language to perform this task without further language training. A telephone interview in English, conducted between the candidate and the relevant section chief or the chief's designee, will be used to determine the candidate's command of the English language and may affect the ranking of candidates.
