IMG Friendly (detail)
The Neurology residency training program at UCM does not explicitly mention International Medical Graduates (IMGs) or any specific acceptance rate or eligibility for IMG applicants. The residency program primarily mentions that residents enter the program at the PGY-II level after completing a preliminary year in internal medicine. There is no clear indication regarding ECFMG certification acceptance or visa sponsorship in the text. Hence, it can be inferred that the program may not be IMG-friendly at this time.
