IMG friendly Psych Residency

[alexking44]

Could you please list the IMG friendly psych residency. Also if you could include the smaller programs that do not need high board scores that will help me a lot. Thanks friends.

No particular order...let's see...off the top of my head:
Texas Tech, Seton, Univ. Virginia like already said, Columbus/Dayton, Ohio, Metro in Cleveland, there are lots of others. Are you a U.S. citizen? That limits you less if you are. High step 1 also opens lots of doors, obviously. I am a U.S. IMG. Lots of schools will interview IMGs that are interesting or have high step 1 scores, more than won't. Many programs will more likely interview IMGs from their state or region, too. A shorter list from my own experience is programs that outright dislike IMGs and make that well known. Two notorious ones are Baylor, Tufts. Best bet is to have high step 1, be an interesting applicant, and apply very broadly. The worst they can do is say no, and it's not much money in the long run.

Make sure to get some posters and maybe case reports or other psych publication out there to help your application, the interview is also very important so make sure to be on your A game that day

I would suggest you go to Ross University and SGU websites and download their match lists from the last 5 years and compile a list. Or apply to every program and cross your fingers, what’s 5-7k in the grand scheme of things.

I think psychiatry is going to continue to have less and less IMGs -- at least this is the trend I have seen as well as talking to other PDs

Adding to the list, Penn State is also very foreign & Caribbean heavy
