    S = Score USMLE U = US Clinical Experience  V = Visa Y = Year of Graduation. By Entering his SUVY into IMGPreps search box Jarred will be provided a customized IMG Friendly Pediatric Residency list. Jarreds Pediatric Residency Program List will also denote which pediatric residency Programs have current residents / Alumni from RCSI  Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
