How to choose Surgery programs as an IMG

Start with the programs that already train international medical graduates: a high IMG share is the clearest sign a program will review your application. Then check visa sponsorship if you need a J-1 or H-1B, and the program's Step 2 CK expectations and graduation-year limit.

Each program page shows these details along with interview rates, signal outcomes and contacts. To see which programs fit your own scores, visa needs and graduation year, build a personalized list.
