Hi guys
Thanks for the great information.
Does anyone have any idea about the acceptance of IMGs into residency programs in the states (in general) and CA (in particular) who graduated more than 5years from medical school?
Thanks a lot!

Its tough but not impossible. CA residency program is more competitive.
Dont give up.

Do you know how I can get a Social Security Number ? Can I get one if I do an observership ? I live in France , I am ECFMG certified , no visa , no US experiences. I need a SSN to get a PTAL to have a chance to get a residency position in CA . Thank you to answer me .
Best regards

@armelle, obtaining SSN is not that easy. You need GC or working visa. Looks like there is no way you can get SSN
