How many IMGs and DOs match into urology every year?

I only know of one IMG who matched last year, but I don't really know of everyone who matched. Some on urologymatch.com has posted a listing of people who matched and what med school they came from. Pretty much everyone that posted there are from a US med school. But, I'm sure there are a couple people each year from foreign schools who match.

I would agree with Bobbyseal. It seems that the majoity of "successful matches" go to US grads, as it is a very very competitive match. Nothing is impossible, but the increased level of difficulty being a FMG applying into a surgical subspeciality is a strong reality.
As far as DOs, we have the "luxury" of applying to MD and DO programs, but also with the reality of not being "so competitive" in the allopathic realm. I matched into DO program, and consider myself quite "fortunate"
