Summary:

Pediatrics is among the most IMG-friendly US medical specialties, it has a high % of match rate for IMGs (18%).
Most Pediatrics matching programs have many IMGs, and more than ten programs have more than 90% IMGs.
In addition, some programs favor US IMGs while others prefer non-US IMGs

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 consists 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).

For example, six pediatrics residencies in the most recent GME census had IMG percentages of 100% (BronxCare, New York-Presbyterian, Richmond, Flushing, Lincoln, and Marshfield). And five had rates higher than 90% (St Joseph’s, SUNY, Albert Einstein, Brooklyn, and Saint Peter’s).

Here is a list of the most (and least) IMG-friendly pediatrics programs. It includes data from the most recent National GME Census Survey. Percentages are of all residents in the program in 2020.
