Last week was match week – an anxious yet joyful time. How did IMG’s fare in this match cycle? Keep listening as we look at the numbers!
According to the NRMP:
There were 39205 total positions available in the match this year which increased by 2.9% when compared to that of 2021.
The Total number of PGY1 positions was 36277 which was also up by 3.1% compared to 2021.

For IMG’s Internal Medicine’s (IM) match rate was 3 times higher than that of Family Medicine(FM).
465 spots went unfilled for both FM and IM Categorical.
