International Medical Graduate and the United States Medical Residency Application: A Guide to Achieving Success

This unique, socially conscience reference provides valuable guidance to  international medical graduates (IMG’s) looking to complete a residency  in the United States. The medical residency application process in the  United States is competitive and complex. Additionally, many IMG’s go  through training programs that sharply differ from the medical school  training and the sociocultural elements of United States medicine and  residency are unlike any other country.

Organized into three  parts, this book meets the need for a pragmatic, evidence based guide  that answers important questions, and imparts indispensable advice to  IMGs. Part I directly tackles the concerns IMG’s have regarding specific  elements of residency applications, including the importance of a  master’s degree and how to get a strong letter of recommendation. Part  II then addresses how to prepare for interviews, preliminary programs  and travel. Finally, the book answers the common “what ifs” and “what’s  next” questions many IMG’s ponder.

International Medical  Graduate and the United States Medical Residency Application: A Guide to  Achieving Success is a first-of-its-kind resource that  presents a  holistic view of residency application peppered with real life examples,  easy to grasp tables and flow charts and key do’s and don’ts to drive  home the complex process involved in residency application.
