Applying to a programme in Ecuador from abroad

• Medical registration: confirm whether the host country allows an international graduate to treat patients, or only to observe, and which licence or registration applies.
• Visa category: clinical fellowship, research appointment and observership can fall under different visa routes. Ask the programme which one it sponsors, if any.
• Language: ask which language clinical work and examinations are conducted in, and whether a language certificate is expected.
• Timing: application windows and start dates differ by country and by programme. Ask for the intake you are aiming at rather than assuming last year's calendar.
• Funding: a salaried post, an unfunded post and a self-funded observership are different arrangements. Ask who pays for salary, fees, housing and insurance.

Editorial checklist. Rules vary by country, programme and year, so confirm each item with the host institution.
