Hi all,

For those of you guys who came from a 'real' foreign country...yes, I mean people from countries other than the US or Canada...What type of visa do you guys have during the clinical rotation?
I know people should get J-1 or H-1B during residency, but what about the clinical rotation? Do I have to go back to my home country after the basic science to get a visa to the US for the rotation?
