You may search the ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education)
website for accredited post graduate residency programs. Choose the specialty
and then choose the State. You must perform a seperate search for each specialty.

I searched for {Internal medicine, Family medicine, Surgery, and Pediatrics} in the
state/territory of Puerto Rico. These results are for the 2006-2007 year.
