Psych for IMGs

[player6872]

Does anybody have any idea how is the chance for International medical graduates is to get into a psychiatry residency?
Any idea about which programs are IMG friendly?
I applied to several programs and so far just got one rejection 🙁
good luck everybody.

Hey,
Can you reveal what foreign school you attended and what program you were rejected by???
From what I understand, University of South Florida (Tampa) usually does not take FMG but University of Miami does. I don't think USF has a policy excluding FMG but it just seems that they have been filling up their spots with USMG.
Good luck.
Peace.

Off topic, but I heard that about USF also -- what gives, is the program that good or is it just that everyone wants to live in Tampa? Usually only the elite psych programs are 100% US grads (no offense to IMG's, but that's just how it is).

Thanks for your comment
5 interviews so far and 3 rejections. I still have a lot more. I just check my email every hour waiting for a response from a program.
Do they send rejections or they will just ignore you? when do they usually send the rejections if they do?

they will usually respond. MCV is very IMG friendly in psyc btw.
