Becker Launches International Student Visa Program and Live
Intensive Offering
Becker Professional Education is certified by the Student and
Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) to host F-1 visa students for the
USMLE program. Once accepted into the program, Becker will issue
the Form I-20 allowing students to apply for the F-1 visa to enter
and study in the United States. The program is for international
students who are interested in obtaining a United States residency
and who want to focus their studies on various foundations specific
to the U.S. approach to medicine.
The curriculum includes an in-depth workshop with content
regarding medical residency admission, American diversity and
healthcare in the United States. The intention is to orient
international students toward positive understanding of the United
States and guide student outcomes toward improved residency
success.
International students and graduates interested in taking Step 1
and Step 2 CK of the USMLE course in the United States can do so at
Becker’s Dallas Intensive located in Addison, Texas, which is 14
miles north of downtown Dallas.
