A Realistic View of The Match
Understanding the landscape is the first step to success.
The path to a US residency is competitive. Historically, US citizen International Medical Graduates (IMGs) see approximately a two-thirds placement rate in the Main Residency Match for PGY-1 positions.
The Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP) provides further opportunities for those who do not match initially.
Final outcomes are influenced by a combination of factors: your specialty choice, USMLE scores, the quality of your USCE and LoRs, the breadth of your application list, and your interview performance. Our goal is to optimize every variable within our control.
