Hi doc_droc_apurva, Thank you for your help. This is a surgical fellowship. I browsed the american association site and got the PD e-mails. Then I sent e-mails to all the programs acredited asking if they considered IMGs to apply for a position. You can't enter the match because you need to be board certified or elligible. But the probram PD can consider you outside the match at the depending on the department's rules. So I was offered to apply in 4 selection processes, but choosed only one who offered me a position this year.
