only US citizens and green card holders admitted into their residency program ..... overall it seems a nice getaway for residency program in a good location ......

I think FM in AK is a great idea. I believe you'll learn a lot of self-reliance if you want to practice medicine in that same environment. They're going to choose people who want to remain in AK after residency or who have ties to that area.

If that doesn't work you can look to places in Wyoming and Montana and Idaho. They're going to provide the same level of training in theory.

As far as numbers go, I have no idea.

anyone else want to give their input?

I heard that they give stipends and things for going to rural areas, but going all the way to Alaska may be too cold for most. I don't think thats for me....

It would be nice to see some numbers for match though....anyone?
