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.
