Which residency programs are IMG-friendly?

IMG-friendly programs are more common in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Psychiatry, and Pathology. Community hospital programs and those in underserved areas tend to be more welcoming to IMGs.

Rather than applying broadly to all programs, IMGs should research which programs have a history of IMG acceptance. Targeted applications increase interview rates.
