Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Ponce Health Sciences University located?
Ponce Health Sciences University is located in Ponce, PR.
Is Ponce Health Sciences University ACGME-accredited?
Yes — Ponce Health Sciences University holds initial ACGME accreditation.
Does Ponce Health Sciences University accept International Medical Graduates (IMGs)?
Ponce Health Sciences University has not reported an IMG resident percentage to FREIDA, so MatchPath publishes none for this program — the figure is missing at the source, not withheld. Its visa sponsorship and PGY-1 salary are shown on this page wherever the program reports them. All of it is free to view, with no account needed.
Does Ponce Health Sciences University sponsor J-1 or H-1B visas?
Ponce Health Sciences University does not currently report J-1 or H-1B visa sponsorship to FREIDA. That means no sponsorship is listed at the source rather than that the program has ruled it out — confirm directly with the program if visa status decides your list.
What USMLE Step 2 CK score does Ponce Health Sciences University require?
Ponce Health Sciences University does not report a minimum USMLE Step 2 CK score, so MatchPath publishes no cutoff for this program — most programs do not publish one. Use its IMG percentage and the specialty's overall match data to gauge fit instead; both are on this page. All of it is free to view, with no account needed.
What is the resident salary at Ponce Health Sciences University?
Ponce Health Sciences University has not reported a PGY-1 salary to FREIDA, so this page shows it as not reported. Salary is set by the sponsoring institution and rises each training year through completion; the program or its GME office can confirm the current figure.
How do I apply to Ponce Health Sciences University?
US residency programs accept applications through ERAS and rank applicants through the NRMP Match. Applications open in the fall, interviews run through winter, and Match results release in March. Save Ponce Health Sciences University to your MatchPath tracker to manage it across the cycle.
