IMG Friendly Internal Medicine Programs

2007-05-08T23:55:00.000-07:00

Below is a list of IMG friendly Internal Medicine Residency programs I found. Since I went into psychiatry I don't know as much as I do compared to psychiatry programs. So please look into it. I will try and make it more accurate. I believe there must be more IMG friendly programs and I will add them as I find them. Please feel free to comment. Also I would not take the requirements as absolutes but as general guidelines. If in doubt, apply. Here it is:

Once more I can not verify the accuracy of the above as much as I can for my psychiatry list. My psychiatry list was compiled by me applying to every psychiatry program and also by talking to many other applicants. I did not do this for IM. Again my advice is to apply if you have doubt. You can decide later when you make your RoL.
