Hi guys,
i had posted the detailed psych list I had made by calling/emailing each and every program in US. Here is the link for it again.
http://www.usmleforum.com/showthread.php?tid=393177
Also, as I said, I made a list for Fm also.
However, i will like to add that as I was mainly interested only in Psych...my Fm list is little "raw" :-p
Also, as I have 4 attempts on my step2ck, I could not even apply to so many states.
So, please use it if it can be of any help to you.
Again, as I made it for personal use, it is kind of untidy :-p But, I do not want to go back and make it look pretty. :-p
Hope it will be fine.
Also, my creds are:
Step 1-- 78 , 1st att
Step 2ck -- 86, 4th att
Step 2cs --pass, 1st att
Step 3 -- not taken yet
Also, I need visa
So, please use this list acc to your req.
And, if there are few programs that have no details in front of them, it is because: they do not sponsor visa, or, i could not apply there because of my 4 att, or i just could not get any info about them despite trying again and again.
Good Luck to all!!!!

Long Beach, California 120-05-21-044
Dear International Graduate:
Long Beach Memorial Family Medicine accepts applications only through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). To enroll with ERAS you need to contact the Association of American Medical Colleges (202) 828-0400. You must also be enrolled with the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) (http://www.aamc.org/nrmp and be cleared by the Education Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) 215-386-5900 or http://www.ecfmg.org
For graduates wishing to enter training in the State of California, you must first receive written clearance from the Medical Board of California. We will not interview applicants who do not have a œCalifornia letter. Contact them at 916-263-2486 or
http://www.medbd.ca.gov.
We are affiliated with the University of California Irvine and must comply with their rules regarding visa sponsorship. Foreign nationals may have a F-1 or H-1 Visa. UCI will sponsor the Visa if you match in one of their residency programs after one year. A foreign graduate who attended a foreign school must be a citizen of the US or a permanent resident.
Having met all of the above, the same criteria is applied as for US graduates. We review transcripts, letters of recommendation and USMLE results. We do not consider anyone who has failed the USMLE on any attempt, nor do we consider applicants with any below average grades on their transcripts. We have been fortunate to have several hundred applicants apply each year. We cannot interview every applicant. We only rank applicants that we interview.
Statistically, there are more unfilled positions in the mid-west and east coast than on the West Coast. We have always filled all our positions from the NRMP Match Program. The Association of American Medical Colleges has a website that we participate in that allows you to log on and find open residency positions. It is http://www.aamc.findaresident.org . You can also listen to the American Academy of Family Physician™s Hotline number 1-800-288-2668 regularly to learn where open FP residency positions exist. We used this hotline when we had an open position and also advertised the open slot on the AAFP™s website “ http://www.aafp.org.

Dear Residency Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the Southern California Kaiser Permanente Residency and Fellowship Programs. Kaiser Permanente has provided excellent medical training to thousands of medical students for over 50 years. Our objective is to educate and mentor medical students to develop the skills necessary to become accomplished and compassionate physicians.
The Kaiser residency and fellowship programs are very competitive and files are reviewed independently as well as comparative to the rest of the applicant pool. We accept and review files of all qualified applicants for our residency program as well as those on educational visas. We accept all visas, but are currently unable to sponsor due to the budget. There is no minimum board score requirement, however, multiple attempts can adversely affect your application as can many years away from medical school. Clinical experience is not required. We are not able to pre-screen applicants by e-mail or phone to determine whether they qualify for our program.
Residency applications can be submitted electronically through ERAS or AMSSM. Please check our website for details on which method to use.
The deadline to apply to most programs is Jan. 1st, however we may fill our interview slots before that date and it is best to apply as early as possible. A detailed description of the curriculum as well as program application guidelines is available on our website at http://residency.kp.org/scal.
Candidates interested in participating in a clerkship, or elective, can check the website for requirements and instructions on how to apply. We currently do not offer observerships nor externships.
Congratulations on the next step to reaching your educational goals. We wish you the best in the match for this year.

Medical student experience does not count. If you completed the latter, please provide a detail description of that experience and at least one letter of recommendation from a physician who can attest to your clinical skills from that experience.

i had posted the detailed psych list I had made by calling/emailing each and every program in US. Here is the link for it again.
http://www.usmleforum.com/showthread.php?tid=393177
Also, as I said, I made a list for Fm also.
However, i will like to add that as I was mainly interested only in Psych...my Fm list is little "raw" :-p
Also, as I have 4 attempts on my step2ck, I could not even apply to so many states.
So, please use it if it can be of any help to you.
Again, as I made it for personal use, it is kind of untidy :-p But, I do not want to go back and make it look pretty. :-p
Hope it will be fine.
Also, my creds are:
Step 1-- 78 , 1st att
Step 2ck -- 86, 4th att
Step 2cs --pass, 1st att
Step 3 -- not taken yet
Also, I need visa
So, please use this list acc to your req.
And, if there are few programs that have no details in front of them, it is because: they do not sponsor visa, or, i could not apply there because of my 4 att, or i just could not get any info about them despite trying again and again.
Good Luck to all!!!!

Long Beach, California 120-05-21-044
Dear International Graduate:
Long Beach Memorial Family Medicine accepts applications only through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS). To enroll with ERAS you need to contact the Association of American Medical Colleges (202) 828-0400. You must also be enrolled with the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) (http://www.aamc.org/nrmp and be cleared by the Education Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) 215-386-5900 or http://www.ecfmg.org
For graduates wishing to enter training in the State of California, you must first receive written clearance from the Medical Board of California. We will not interview applicants who do not have a œCalifornia letter. Contact them at 916-263-2486 or
http://www.medbd.ca.gov.
We are affiliated with the University of California Irvine and must comply with their rules regarding visa sponsorship. Foreign nationals may have a F-1 or H-1 Visa. UCI will sponsor the Visa if you match in one of their residency programs after one year. A foreign graduate who attended a foreign school must be a citizen of the US or a permanent resident.
Having met all of the above, the same criteria is applied as for US graduates. We review transcripts, letters of recommendation and USMLE results. We do not consider anyone who has failed the USMLE on any attempt, nor do we consider applicants with any below average grades on their transcripts. We have been fortunate to have several hundred applicants apply each year. We cannot interview every applicant. We only rank applicants that we interview.
Statistically, there are more unfilled positions in the mid-west and east coast than on the West Coast. We have always filled all our positions from the NRMP Match Program. The Association of American Medical Colleges has a website that we participate in that allows you to log on and find open residency positions. It is http://www.aamc.findaresident.org . You can also listen to the American Academy of Family Physician™s Hotline number 1-800-288-2668 regularly to learn where open FP residency positions exist. We used this hotline when we had an open position and also advertised the open slot on the AAFP™s website “ http://www.aafp.org.
Here are some other links that may be of use to you

Dear Residency Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the Southern California Kaiser Permanente Residency and Fellowship Programs. Kaiser Permanente has provided excellent medical training to thousands of medical students for over 50 years. Our objective is to educate and mentor medical students to develop the skills necessary to become accomplished and compassionate physicians.
The Kaiser residency and fellowship programs are very competitive and files are reviewed independently as well as comparative to the rest of the applicant pool. We accept and review files of all qualified applicants for our residency program as well as those on educational visas. We accept all visas, but are currently unable to sponsor due to the budget. There is no minimum board score requirement, however, multiple attempts can adversely affect your application as can many years away from medical school. Clinical experience is not required. We are not able to pre-screen applicants by e-mail or phone to determine whether they qualify for our program.
Residency applications can be submitted electronically through ERAS or AMSSM. Please check our website for details on which method to use.
The deadline to apply to most programs is Jan. 1st, however we may fill our interview slots before that date and it is best to apply as early as possible. A detailed description of the curriculum as well as program application guidelines is available on our website at http://residency.kp.org/scal.
Candidates interested in participating in a clerkship, or elective, can check the website for requirements and instructions on how to apply. We currently do not offer observerships nor externships.
Congratulations on the next step to reaching your educational goals. We wish you the best in the match for this year.
Sincerely,
