Hi everyone,
I’m a non-US IMG currently planning my pathway toward applying for Emergency Medicine, and I’m trying to better understand which residency programs have historically been more open to applicants like me.
I know EM is more competitive and often less IMG-friendly compared to specialties like IM, so I want to approach this realistically and strategically.
I’d really appreciate insight from anyone who knows of programs that have previously matched non-US IMGs into EM, especially if they:
• have a track record of interviewing or ranking IMGs
• value strong USCE / SLOEs
• are considered more accessible for international graduates
I’m not looking for shortcuts—just trying to identify places where my efforts would actually have a fair chance.
If you’re a current resident, applicant, or someone who has gone through this process, I’d be grateful for any advice, program names, or resources that could help.
Thank you in advance.
