摘要：

Results: We received responses from 121 of 195 (62.1%) DR programs (121/149 = 81.2% of actionable emails). 80/121 (66.1%) had at least one IMG in their DR residency program and the countries of origin included India (36), Iran (30), Saudi Arabia (24), Egypt (16), Canada (14), Brazil (14), and Pakistan (9), as the most common. While most programs (76/104, 73.1%) offered J1 visas, 23/99 (23.2%) provided H-1B visas to trainees. IMG DR residents overall performed as well as American graduates, with an equal number of PDs saying IMGs performed better and worse than American graduates. PDs' issues with IMGs centered on visas: (1) expense, (2) lack of familiarity, (3) Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates regulations, and (4) time commitment in submitting paperwork. Conclusion: Most radiology IMG residents originate from India and Middle Eastern countries. Once enrolled, IMG residents perform similarly to US graduates. However, adding IMG candidates to the training program requires overcoming bureaucratic and monetary hurdles around visas.
