“The book … will remain highly useful for international medical graduate (IMG) physicians applying to psychiatry residencies and for the faculty members who teach and supervise them in U.S. Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) residency programs. … I found the book quite accessible and useful. … This book will provide much needed guidance for those who come to the U.S. to train in psychiatry and valuable information for those of us who are expected to train them.” (Marshall Forstein, Academic Psychiatry, Vol. 41, 2017)
