Clinical electives for international medical students

[Some_one]

Hello everyone, I am an international medical student planning to do my residency in the US. I would like to do some general surgery electives in the US and I am wondering If it is actually possible to find any free elective there.
Any suggestions please?

I would suggest going to the website of the program that you want to do an away elective with and see what their requirements for IMGs are. If they are not listed on the website, you can always reach out through email on the section with their contact info. If you are unsure where you want to go, theres a website I use called residencyprogramslist.com if you want to see what residencies are where. I would also talk to the career advisor at your school if you have one, since they have some knowledge as well. Hope this helps.
