Hi everybody.. I am the one who initiated this thread almost a year ago... I am an IMG.. I am currently doing my residency at Downstate.. I am very Happy with my choice.. and to the Guy who said that IMGs dont care about the place, well you are wrong. I got over 20 interviews from very good programs (most are univ. programs). Most of the programs i have been to, expressed interest in me. I also got couple of prematch offers, including one from cleveland clinic. I chose Downstate because i realy felt i belong there. and no, Downstate is not a malignant place. since i have been here, everybody has been nice to me. i have also been learning alot, we are so fortunate to get exposed to a vast variety of pych. pathology at downstate. we are also fortunate to get to work at the state of art R building and its huge CPEP. I would say the experience we get here is uncomparable. we also have protected time for didactics every week. so, if anyone has any inquiries about downstate psych. program, i will be happy to help.
