Education Credentials Obtained Outside U. S.

Applicants for Research trainee positions at MD Anderson who earned degrees or obtained educational credentials outside the United States that will be used to meet the minimum education requirement for the position of consideration must submit a credential evaluation prior to the extension of an offer. Only evaluations conducted by a member agency of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services will be accepted. All expenses to obtain the evaluation will be the responsibility of the candidate. If you have already obtained a credential evaluation from one of the NACES member agencies listed, you may submit an original of that evaluation as issued by the agency to comply with MD Anderson institutional requirements. An Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) certificate will not substitute for a credential evaluation.

**For those trainees who intend to seek faculty appointments at MD Anderson upon conclusion of their educational experiences, the MD Anderson Department of Faculty Academic Affairs (FAA) will accept credential evaluations only from those agencies that are identified with a double asterisk. FAA does not accept American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) evaluations for faculty appointments.

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center does not endorse any of the listed companies; rather, as accredited foreign education evaluation agencies, they have been identified as providing sufficient and acceptable foreign education evaluation services.
