What Are the Options for IMGs Who Do Not Match Residency?
Every year, countless medical graduates eagerly await the results of the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP). For many, Match Day marks the beginning of their journey in a residency program. However, not all applicants secure a spot. International Medical Graduates (IMGs) often face additional challenges due to visa issues, fewer positions, and intense competition. If you’re an IMG who didn’t match into residency, it’s crucial to understand your options and next steps.
