Is there any hope for foreign grads to enter ENT? Are there any postmatch openings? I am open to ideas. Thanks in advance.

you can check www.nrmp.org to get match statistics. i just briefly reviewed it and i think there was 1 fmg that matched this year in ent and 1 fmg that matched last year. so yes it does happen, but i don't know what kind of students these are that do match
Hi there. It seems we are in the same boat. I am an IMG with scores of 96 and 95 in step 1 & 2 respectively. I have been working in Otolaryngology for the last 10 years. I have yet to apply for a residency. How many programs did you apply to and what criteria you used to select your list of programs?sdn2002 said:My background is:
92/87/80
ECFMG certified.
Previously finished Otolaryngology in my home country.
Published 6 articles in US ENT journals.
Tried before once but got zero invitation for interviews.
Have visa requirements.
Any further suggestions?
Can I just work as a PA in ENT?
thanks for all your suggestions.
