IC or EP for IMGs
Hello everyone,
I am a PGY-2 IM resident in an ACGME-International program
We do have an excellent cardiology fellowship here which is ACGME accredited as well.
I’m planning to do cardiology and to be followed by either EP or Interventional in the USA!
I’m a bit lost now, since cardiology is almost impossible to match after finishing my IM abroad, I think it might be easier to finish cardiology at my program and then apply to EP or IC in the US, my question is how likely do IMGs match into those fellowships with IM and cardiology being done outside the US?
And if I get to do one of those fellowships in the US, is it difficult to get licensed and work there as well?
Some people advise me to apply for residency and do it all from the beginning, which I find not applicable personally in my situation.
I would appreciate any assistance
Thank you all
