The IMGPrep Method

How residency programs actually select IMGs

Selection is a sequence of structural filters and qualitative reviews, applied in order, by people. We position your candidacy inside every stage, from the first screen to the final rank.

We do not promise the Match. No ethical advisor can. What we promise is a rigorous, data-informed, individually built strategy, and a candidacy positioned for goodness of fit.

Why IMGPrep

We build candidacies,
not applications.

Strong applicants aren’t simply qualified, they’re strategically positioned. Since 2005 we’ve worked with international medical graduates across the full arc to U.S. graduate medical education, on the principle that the Match rewards goodness of fit.

Program-specific, not generic

We analyze how individual programs screen and rank, then align your profile to those patterns.

Built on data, not anecdote

Frameworks grounded in NRMP and ACGME data. The Match is structured, and structure can be understood.

One candidate at a time

Engagements are structured around your trajectory, advisory that stays with you the whole way.
