Match Experience
It's getting more competitive but it you have strong grades and strong boards from a US allopathic school, you're going to get interviews essentially everywhere you apply. As with med school applications, the importance of getting you application in as soon as possible cannot be over-emphasized. For IMGs and DOs, I belive I saw some at UF and UT-Knoxville but generally they were in the PGY-3 class and not in the PGY-1 class which may be indicative of the specialty's increasing competitveness.
