Hi there,
I ve recently been told that IMGs can easily get an internal medicine residency or peadiatrics for that matter, but they say its hard to get a surgical speciality such as general surgery,orthopedics, or neurosurgery ..
Is that true, especially for IMGs ?
Also, they told me even if an IMG does manage to get into a surgery residency, IMGs wdnt be given an opportunity to develop, because of the so called 'pyramidal system'.. and that they wdnt be given full responsibility under any circumstances and wd only be allowed to assist other surgeons who are US citizens ?
Does anyone know abt this in more detail ?
