According to the 2011 APPIC Survey, in which 2,683 applicants replies, a mere 13% were not US citizens, half of which were Canadian. Someone with more time can crunch the numbers to get an accurate estimate of the # of total Canadian applicants v. Canadian internship spots...but it is basically a wash unless there has been a huge increase in Canadian applicants in recent years. That leaves 5-6% of all applicants to be non-US citizen (dual citizenship was not specified). Unless there is a
huge difference in distribution between programs, there is no way your assertion can be remotely true. I welcome hard data to prove me wrong.
In regard to general diversity between programs and program types, Norcross et al. (2004) addressed this in their Professional Psychology: Research and Practice article "
The Psy.D.: Heterogeneity in Practitioner Training." They found that was no real difference in the % of ethnic minorities between the difference types of programs.
I wanted to come back to something you said earlier....
This is COMPLETELY false. There are a PLETHORA of data put out by the AAMC about the residency match each year. The 2011 data clearly shows that FMGs (which includes AMFGs) were in the minority for matching to US-based residencies. Please educate yourself about the data before spouting off about things you don't know.
Again...citation? Norcross et al. (2004) speaks to this, check out
Table 4. Additionally, foreign students are not typically allowed to take out gov't loans (dual citizens and other exceptions), which is what pays for a larger and larger % of tuition these days as funding sources are cut.
