Hello everyone, first time poster here
Im an ENT resident in Israel, my wife is american so Im planning to apply for a green card and a fellowship in the US, with the possibility of staying as an attending (I've heard mixed statements regarding the feasibility of it), but that's another subject...
My question was about ACGME accreditation, Ive done my research about head and neck, neuro-otology and peds programs (still not sure which subspecialty I'll pursue) and many programs state that in order to match the applicant must have had completed an ACGME accredited residency, does that mean they take only those who did their residency in the US?
Also, some institutions don't specify much about the matching requirements but emphasize that their fellowship program is ACGME accredited, does that automatically limits it to people coming from ACGME accredited residencies as well?
Thanks in advance!!
