Hi Digitaldoc,
I was wondering what criteria you've used to call these programs "IMG Friendly" because you've listed programs like Mass General and Brigham & Women's where it's practically impossible for IMGs to match.
Thanks
These are programs which at least bother to review IMG applications - all IMGs must also call/email programs starting from June each year - to determine if they are still IMG-friendly, since policies change every year and since you can never trust a third person (paid or free) with this important information. Use this blog as a guide and for updates
