Yes — University of Kentucky College of Medicine holds initial ACGME accreditation.
Does University of Kentucky College of Medicine accept International Medical Graduates (IMGs)?
University of Kentucky College of Medicine has not reported an IMG resident percentage to FREIDA, so MatchPath publishes none for this program — the figure is missing at the source, not withheld.

What USMLE Step 2 CK score does University of Kentucky College of Medicine require?
University of Kentucky College of Medicine does not report a minimum USMLE Step 2 CK score, so MatchPath publishes no cutoff for this program — most programs do not publish one.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.
What is the resident salary at University of Kentucky College of Medicine?
University of Kentucky College of Medicine has not reported a PGY-1 salary to FREIDA, so this page shows it as not reported. Salary is set by the sponsoring institution and rises each training year through completion; the program or its GME office can confirm the current figure.
