This article explores which states are favorable for the foreign medical graduate in the subject of neurology. A while back, I wrote an article, which described the and for an international graduate seeking residency in US but included numbers across all specialties. This article is based off most current data and and gives a subject specific breakdown of the IMG friendly states.

The states have been listed on the left and include the fifty-two continental US states and the percentage of IMGs in the state are depicted by the bar graph. The data is compiled from NRMP, results and data section. The caveat here is to remember that these reflect percentages and do not reflect the number of positions.

Thus if one program has 2 seats and 1 is IMG then it is 50% 'IMG friendly' as opposed to another which has 10 positions and 3 are IMG which then is 30% 'IMG friendly' even though it has most spots. This aside, the percentage does reflect the IMG friendliness scale of each state and allows for the applicants to select and choose the appropriate programs for the specialty of their choice. This list will also help save money in application costs by _ not_ applying to those states which have zero foreign trained residents.
