IMG Friendly (detail)
The Vanderbilt Psychiatry Residency Program is likely friendly towards International Medical Graduates (IMGs). However, specifics about their acceptance rate or explicit guidelines for IMG applications aren't clearly mentioned. It may be inferred that because the program actively integrates diverse training options and emphasizes inclusivity, it should reasonably accept candidates from a range of educational backgrounds. The acceptance of ECFMG certification, as well as support for visa sponsorship for international graduates, typically indicates IMG-friendly policies, although these details need verification via direct communication with the program.
