the best thing to do for the most credible information is to organize friends and have each of them email / call a spefic area - like northeast programs, south, etc...and then compile that information ! am myself trying to compile IMG friendly programs for everyone to use and email at http://IMGfriendly.blogspot.com

There are several "IMG friendly" lists, and up to now nobody has given good input from those companies. Personally I think both are highly unreliable. Between Freida and the program's webpage, you can have a pretty good idea about the presence of IMG's in certain programs... Things like "WE DO NOT SPONSOR VISAS, 1 YEAR OF HAND-ON EXPERIENCE IN THE US" can give you a clue as well as looking the list of last year residents.
