Are you wondering how IMG-friendly (or unfriendly) diagnostic radiology is as a US medical specialty? Do you want to know your chances of matching in this highly competitive field? Would you love to figure out what diagnostic radiology programs an IMG would stand the best chance?
This article will give you the most up-to-date information on IMG-friendly diagnostic radiology programs. Use this information to strategize on whether – and where – to apply to maximize your chances of matching as an IMG in diagnostic radiology.
Summary:
- Diagnostic radiology is not an IMG-friendly US medical specialty, It has a low % of spots filled by IMGs and a moderate % of match rate for IMGs
- However, some diagnostic radiology programs have a large number of IMGs, including Rutgers Health/Cooperman Barnabas and SUNY Upstate with 81% each.
- In addition, most diagnostic radiology programs favor US IMGs while some prefer non-US IMGs
- See the full list of searchable residency programs to strategize where IMGs have recently been the most welcome

What is an IMG Again?
Let’s start with some definitions.
IMG: International Medical Graduate
- You attended a medical school outside of the United States and Canada
US- vs. Non-US IMGs
IMGs consist of two sub-groups:
- US-IMGs: US Citizens or permanent residents who attended a “foreign” medical school. Example: someone born in the US but went to a Caribbean medical school (a non-US school).
- Non-US IMGs: Non-US citizens or permanent residents who attended a “foreign” medical school. Example: someone born in South Korea, who does not have US citizenship or a green card, and who went to medical school in South Korea.
NRMP: “National Resident Matching Program®”
- The organization that administers the “Match.” In the Match, the NRMP pairs residency applicants with a residency program.
Note that “International Medical Graduate” (IMG) refers to the medical school you attended. Thus, a foreign citizen who attends a US medical school is NOT an IMG. However, a US citizen attending a med school outside the US would be considered an IMG. (Technically, s/he would be a US IMG).
For more on how IMGs can attain residency in the US, see The IMG’s Guide to Obtaining Residency in the United States (2022).
Diagnostic radiology is Not IMG-Friendly
Looking at the % of spots filled by IMGs in the 2022 Match, we can see diagnostic radiology was not IMG-friendly. Only 8% of spots were filled by IMGs.
However, it had a moderate match rate for IMGs in the 2022 Match, with 40% of IMGs being matched:

The Most IMG-Friendly Diagnostic Radiology Residency Programs
While diagnostic radiology as a field is not IMG-friendly, that is not true for all diagnostic radiology residency programs. For example, six diagnostic radiology residencies in the most recent GME census had IMG percentages of 65% or higher. Two of these programs, Rutgers Health/Cooperman Barnabas and SUNY Upstate, had 81% rates.
Here is a list of the most (and least) IMG-friendly diagnostic radiology programs. It includes data from the most recent National GME Census Survey. Percentages are of all residents in the program in 2020.
| ACGME residency program code | Residency program name | City | State | % residents IMG (US + Non-US) | % residents US-citizen IMGs | % residents non-US-citizen IMGs | % residents US MD graduates | % residents US DO graduates | Program consider applicants with J-1 visa? | Program consider applicants with H-1B visa? | Program consider applicants with F-1 Visa (OPT 1st year)? | # categorical positions offered (2021 NRMP Main Match) | # categorical positions filled (2021 NRMP Main Match) | # advanced positions offered (2021 NRMP Main Match) | # advanced positions filled by (2021 NRMP Main Match) | # applications submitted (2021 NRMP Main Match) | % applicants interviewed (2020 NRMP Main Match) |

Concluding Thoughts
Diagnostic radiology is not a field that is particularly friendly to IMGs. This is evidenced by the low % of spots filled by IMGs in the 2022 match and a moderate % of match rates. However, with some programs having a majority of IMGs, there are still some friendly programs for top applicants. Though keep in mind, most diagnostic radiology residency programs favor US IMGs over non-US IMGs.
Are you despairing at your chances of matching into diagnostic radiology as an IMG? Then, check out Never Forget, where you can learn how to master – not memorize – for the impressive USMLE scores to match at your dream residency. And if you’re looking for a residency advisor, look at our residency advisory services.
