What does it take for an IMG to match in radiology?

About to graduate soon (in Europe) but considering to postpone my graduation because everyone i've been talking to tells me that USCE is a MUST. So here is my question:

Besides step scores over 250, what else is needed? (what do you think is minimum requirements.)

• Electives, for how long
• Externship/observership
• LOR
• Prelim year
• etc....

Any info is highly appreciated!

Have a great day!

I would try to do an elective at a spot where they have taken IMGs (non-US citizen IMGs) in the past. Then try to do awesome on the rotation.

Also, I am not so sure that a 250 is required as you stated above... It certainly helps your chances, but it isn't the end all be all.

Thank you for your reply!
Do you possibly know where I can find info about the IMG-friendly programs?

Thanks again and have a great day!

It's both tedious and quite easy. Go to every program and look at their current residents... other than that, I don't believe there is some database containing the information you are looking for.

Already started 🙂
Sorry if my question made me sound very lazy, I'm just a newbie 😀

Have a great day!
