Could some one enlighten me if a J1 to H1b swap during residency is viable? Specifically, I'm looking at likely H1b for a radiology position as a PGY2 and J1 for my intern year. Does the two-year home country requirement apply in this case? I can't seem to find much about this anywhere. I...

I hate to scatter the main 2016-2017 General Surgery interview invite/rejection list, but I think it would be helpful for IMGs to know where they stand among other IMGs since we have that extra filter to deal with. Please enter the following under the corresponding state: "Name of program /...

Hi. I'm an international student and I have quite recently begun to seriously consider radiology (in the US, that is). I'm a year 2 and have 4 years until graduation. This gives me a lot of time to prepare for applying abroad. I know that radiology is a highly competitive field, but I feel like...
