Hello fellas.... I have a question regarding IMand FM Residency Programs in state of Illinois...I have read somewhere that we need some sort of extra credits(hours) in some specialties during our med school in order to qualify as an applicant for residency programs....please tell me what are they?are they for all programs or just some? do you guys have the name of the programs that have that kind of requirements?I have everything else ready and expecting my ECFMG certificate in mid september..(mid 80s scores all first attempts)...grad year 2005 and no visa issues...Just confused about those programs in Illinois.I would really appreciate if someone will help me out with this one so that I don't have to shoot in the dark while applying...thank you so much in advance.....and you guys have a good luck for 2009 match.
