IMG Friendly (detail)
The residency program does not explicitly mention being IMG-friendly or provide acceptance rates for International Medical Graduates. However, it includes diverse rotations and opportunities that may accommodate IMG residents, assuming they meet other general criteria such as ECFMG certification. I recommend consulting the program director or the residency office for specific IMG policies.
