I wonder if there are any mysteries in getting into residency in the US, as a foreign medical graduate, to warrant a book on the subject.

1. Get good scores on the USMLE exams. The higher the better. This is the most important factor, overall. Aim to score above 85 in each step, at the first sitting.
2. To get good scores, you need to read the relevant books. Those British books will not be of much help. ... Read More
Rating: - starting point
I ordered this book as a canadian looking to get information on getting through the red tape to visa's, USMLE's etc. This book is more designed for the noncanadian MD and some of the information seems not to be up to date or entirely clear. The most useful thing i got from this was the addresses of the individuals i could contact to ask questions for myself.
Rating: - Great information on visas for international MD graduates
This book helps you prepare for the legal requirements needed in order to stay in a residency in the US that most of us don't consider until it is too late. It covers not only topics concerning international graduates originally from another country other than the US, but also helps those with speciall situations, like american citizens who graduated abroad or international students who graduated in the United States. It is a definite first step.
