Rehabdoc,

Just out of curiosity, how amongst all the programs were you able to single out Rush as being IMG friendly? I certainly don't mean to slight any applicants (IMGs or otherwise), but I thought that Rush was one of the top Chicago programs that was rather competitive to get into for US grads, let alone IMGs or FMGs? I'd appreciate if you could please post any other thoughts or comments you might have on this program.

soon2bdoc2003,

thanks for your input! same question to you, is Rush known to be overly IMG friendly? What are your general thoughts on its program. The only reason I'm really concerned about this issue is b/c IMG friendly programs generally (and this is a big generalization) tend to be sweatshop programs. Residency is supposed to be long hours and hard work, but I certainly want to steer clear of any "cook county"-like programs. thanks again for your input!!

sorry dont know much about rush as i didnt interview there. I am a US-FMG and the only program where i met non ross/sgu fmgs were miami, cook county, and westchester. I would say cook and westchester are classic 'sweatshop programs' while miami is covering its tail this year just in case they get snubbed by all those ivy league brats i met during my interview. I also know that syracuse, albany, and u. arkansas are pretty img friendly although i dont know much about those programs.
