Now to talk about the most pressing issue at hand; the residency match results according to the ECFMG:

132 more IMGs matched this year when compared to last year! This is a freaking big deal, though the percentage looks lower, its just because the denominator (i.e. number of available spots) is higher. You get it? The fact that there are more spots available only serves to give us hope that even more IMGs will match in years to come.

Some more granular data from ECFMG : 928 + first year positions were available this cycle compared to the last one (2020). That means over 900 opportunities to achieve your dreams as an IMG! 56.7% IMGs matched this year compared to 61.1% last year! Though this percentage may seem smaller, it actually represents the fact that 132 more IMGs in total matched, compared to the increase in the number of available spots. Here is some more information specific to the demographics of all applicants:

  • 3,152 US citizen IMGS matched out of 5,295 participants.

  • 4,356 non US citizen IMGs matched out of 7,493!

  • 2,143 US citizen IMGs did not match & 3,587 non US IMGs did not match!

Aren't these statistics inspiring? Now is a greater time than ever to take the leap as an IMG to go for the residency position of your dreams. IMGs are rightfully taking up space in all areas of medicine in the US from Family Medicine to Orthopedic Surgery among so many other specialties.

Stay tuned and secure your spot in the IMG Roadmap Course as soon as possible!
