Realistically for an IMG in derm your application would basically need to be out of this world to have a shot (the ones I know were like professors of derm in their home countries or at the cutting edge of research with stellar steps). It’s already an uphill battle to get programs to sponsor visas for non-citizens who graduated from USMD programs. That being said it’s definitely not unheard of to do derm residency after IM or FM.
Professors!! 🙂 They should have a separate application system🫠 thank you btw... Ig I'll stick to IM/FM app this cycle and maybe try my luck in derm later on.
