Question 1

What is in the program directory?

Accepted Answer

Every US residency and fellowship program ResidencySpot has read from its institution's own website: its specialty and location, and what its page states about the program's length, how many residents or fellows it takes a year, visa sponsorship, international medical graduates, DO applicants, USMLE minimums and graduation-year limits. Filter by program type, specialty and state, free and without an account. Each program's coordinator contact and official page are part of Premium.

Question 2

Which programs are IMG-friendly or DO-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Tick IMG-friendly in the quick filters for the programs whose own website says they sponsor a J-1 or H-1B visa or consider international medical graduates; J-1 and H-1B narrow it to one visa's sponsors. Tick DO-friendly for the programs whose page accepts COMLEX or welcomes DO applicants. Each program's page quotes the sentence it rests on; the IMG-friendly lists by specialty and state, with a download, are at /img-friendly-programs.

Question 3

How do I compare programs?

Accepted Answer

Turn on Compare above the list and tick up to four programs, or press Compare on a program's own page. The programs you choose stay in a bar at the foot of the window as you browse; open the comparison to see their length, size, visas, eligibility and your fit side by side, with the sentence each page states.

Question 4

Why are some fields empty?

Accepted Answer

Every value in the table is what that program's own website states, quoted on its page, and a dash means the page does not say. Pages are read again when they change, so a program that adds its visa policy or class size shows it after the next reading. Nothing is estimated or filled in from elsewhere.

Question 5

Can I see which programs fit me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Build a profile in five questions (US MD, DO or international graduate, specialty, the visa you need, graduation year, Step 2 CK and preferred states) and the table gains a Your fit column for the specialty you are looking at, with a ranked list a press away. The ten best fits and every reason are free; Premium shows the whole list with contacts. The fit is scored only from what each program's page states, and it is not a prediction of matching.

Question 6

What is the difference between a program and a vacancy?

Accepted Answer

A program is listed so you can plan applications in the regular cycle, usually through ERAS and the Match. A vacancy is a position a program is filling now, outside the Match, which you apply to directly; those are on the vacancies page.
