Yes critical doc...Communication skills does matter....But, how is fluency in English play a role in communication skills in these interviews? For example, When I get frequently stuck with something searching for words or using inappropriate words for my sentence --- Of course..It will look odd.. I was just wondering whether PD will have consider IMG status regarding this aspect?
It's huge - I cannot stress how important it is. As a physician in the US, you are going to need to be completely fluent so that you can communicate with sick patients, support staff, etc. We know that English is a second language, and there is some searching for words, but you should be completely fluent. Many times, my PD will have me go speak with an applicant to get my opinion on language with a resident.

I agree with BBB. I've met MD's from all over the world and offcourse there will always be an accent... but as long as you are able to communicate with your patients and every member of the team you'll be allright.
