Question

I am looking up at all the IM programs available, what they want and what they offer..etc.. .

i wanted some advise about programs to include in my list since its
quite a complicated list plus any other advise that can help..
thanks for your help and support…

Answer

First; determine which programs you are eligible for re: visa

so if you have green card above doesn't apply since you can apply anywhere

but if you don't have green card then do not apply to programs that don't sponsor visa, or who generally haven't in recent years i.e. if you look up their residents on the internet and find all of them are AMGs then they probably don't/won't sponsor visas

Second: determine which programs you can apply to depending on your grades, year of graduation, USCE

Caution: although programs may state certain rules, they may break them on a case by case basis

To assist you

look up our sama webpage

http://sama- sd.org/us- residency- and-fellowship/ resources- for-applicants

this has different application lists depending on speciality, and another list of programs that are “Sudanese friendly” taken sudanese in the past.

Also look up freida for all residency programs in USA, and do your own search

https://freida. ama-assn. org/Freida/ user/viewProgram Search.do

In general, Apply as much as you can but also apply wisely don't waste your money on programs that will not even consider you.

Time you invest in looking up programs/asking people about them saves you during application time
