Are you wondering how IMG-friendly (or unfriendly) Psychiatry 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 psychiatry programs an IMG would stand the best chance?

This article will give you the most up-to-date information on IMG-friendly psychiatry programs. Use this information to strategize on whether – and where – to apply to maximize your chances of matching as an IMG in psychiatry.

Summary:

  • Psychiatry is a moderately IMG-friendly US medical specialty.
  • Even though psychiatry has a high IMG match rate, the % of spots filled by IMGs is low.
  • Most psychiatry matching programs have a large proportion of IMGs, For example, two programs have a 100% of IMG residents, and about six programs have more than 90%.
  • In addition, most psychiatry matching 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).

Psychiatry is a Moderately IMG-Friendly Speciality

Looking at the % of spots filled by IMGs in the 2022 Match, we can see Psychiatry had a low % of spots filled by IMGs (15%).

However, it had a moderate match rate for IMGs in the 2022 match, with 46% of IMGs being matched:

The Most IMG-Friendly Psychiatry Residency Programs

Psychiatry is a field that is generally friendly to IMGs. It has a high % of IMG-friendly residency programs. For example, two psychiatry residency programs in the most recent GME census had a 100% of IMGs (St Barnabas and One Brooklyn/Interfaith). And six had rates that were higher than 90% (BronxCare, Jamaica, St. John’s Episcopal, Rutgers Health/Trinitas, Larkin, and New Bridge)

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

Concluding Thoughts

Psychiatry is a moderately IMG-friendly field, with 15% of spots filled by IMGs and a match rate of 46%. Psychiatry matching programs have a high rate of matching for IMGs, with two programs having a 100% match rate and six programs having more than a 90% match rate. Most psychiatry residency programs favor US IMGs while some favor non-US IMGs.

Are you despairing at your chances of matching into psychiatry 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.
