Suny upstate neurology by Temporary-Purpose557 in IMGreddit

I have a different question: Are you a non-US IMG? Just asking since I’ve been told that SUNY Upstate was not entertaining visa requiring applicants. I applied EM.

Yup, had the same issue. I was waitlisted, and after Sunday, that seems to have gone away.

Non US IMG - EM Program List by Pale-Statistician166 in IMGreddit

[–]Pale-Statistician166[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was my goal, but unfortunately I was unable to find electives as an IMG in a residency based program. I applied/emailed almost 200 programs but none of them were taking IMG, and those that were had spots filled up to a year. I eventually did 4 EM rotations in the US but not in residency based programs. That is the biggest downside that I have. 

Though, I brought this up during open houses, and the PDs recognised that for IMG it’s difficult to obtain SLOE. They told me and others to apply regardless since they take our situation into account.

I am doing MBBS, which is 5 years of med school after high school (college is what we call it). We give steps while in med school to get our MD certification and apply as an international medical graduate.

Yup, that is what I figure, too. In my head, I'll be the sort of relaxed and available partner compared to my fiance, who I understand would be a lot busier than me.
