MANA also provides an opportunity to select Foreign Medical Graduates to gain US Clinical Experience. The fellows work full time with Board Certified Physicians. They are involved with patient care, research, meetings etc. This allows the fellows to gain clinical experience, presentation skills, record keeping skills etc. At the end of their 6-month fellowship, Board Certified physicians provide them with an evaluation.
