IMG Friendly (detail)
The residency program does not explicitly mention the acceptance of International Medical Graduates (IMGs) or provide an IMG acceptance rate. However, the program promotes Osteopathic Recognition (OR) and states that it is open to both DOs and MDs. The application criteria suggest a preference for applicants who have graduated within the last 3-5 years, and mentions the necessity of ECFMG certification for international medical school graduates. This implies there is some level of accommodation for IMG applicants, but the specifics are vague and suggest a possible preference for US medical graduates.
