Hi everyone,

I've just received ecfmg certificate and am getting ready for the residency application. In order to apply to California programs we need a CA letter. But it seems to be a tedious and expensive process to get the CA letter. Is it worth it? Is CA an IMG friendly place? Please share your thought. THank you.

AMGs love CA more than anyone else & its very competitive getting any residency there.....besides the pain imgs go through to get the CA-letter !

it may not be worth it getting the letter, since not many programs are img-friendly. check out the websites of your desired residency programs and you will see that !

just my opinion. GL guys !

Hello. I am moving to California and I want to apply to that area. Can I start the application for the match without the California letter ? Does everyone need a family practice clerkship, even if you are not going to this residency ??raised eyebrow
