How many residents are at Rutgers Health?

Does Rutgers Health accept International Medical Graduates (IMGs)?

What USMLE Step 2 CK score does Rutgers Health require?
Rutgers Health does not report a minimum USMLE Step 2 CK score, so MatchPath publishes no cutoff for this program — most programs do not publish one. Use its IMG percentage and the specialty's overall match data to gauge fit instead; both are on this page. All of it is free to view, with no account needed.
