Why interview prep matters
The interview is the #1 factor that decides your match.
94%
of program directors cite interview performance as one of the most important factors when ranking applicants
Source: NRMP Program Director Survey 2024
You’ve done the hard work. Steps 1 and 2. Clinical rotations. ECFMG certification. The application. Months of effort to get to one moment: the interview.
Program directors are not ranking applications anymore at this stage. They are ranking you — how you communicate, how you handle pressure, how clearly you can articulate your reasons for the program, the specialty, this country.
This is the stage where strong applicants lose offers and average applicants win them. The difference is medical residency interview preparation that is specific to your background, your specialty, and the actual programs you will interview at.
Your investment
Two options. Both built around the same standard.
Pricing is upfront. No subscriptions. No hidden fees. Pay once, work directly with your assigned interview prep expert.
⚠ Limited enrollment. IMGPrep caps interview prep enrollment each season to ensure each applicant gets the time they need. Spots fill on a first-come basis once interview season begins.
A note from IMGPrep
We don’t agree with Group Prep.
Our fees are similar to many Group Prep services. We will not compromise on quality to match their model. When you book an hour with IMGPrep, your coach has read your documents before you log in. We come prepared. We give you specific, honest feedback.
We understand the work it takes to get to an interview — from Selective Screening through Holistic Review — and the weight your performance holds in that final stage.
How we prepare you
Three things we have to understand to prepare you well.
By the time you have an interview invitation, you have already cleared Selective Screening and Holistic Review. The interview itself is the decisive performance stage. To prepare you for it, our work begins with three questions — in this order.
1
The Candidate
We read your full ERAS application before you log in — CV, personal statement, MSPE, USMLE scores, USCE, letters of recommendation. We are not paying ourselves to read your documents in front of you. We come prepared with a working theory of who you are as an applicant and why this program invited you.
2
The Specialty
Internal Medicine and Surgery interviews are not the same conversation. Psychiatry and Radiology are not the same conversation. Each specialty has its own questions, its own values, its own competencies it expects candidates to demonstrate. We prepare you against the standards your specialty actually applies — not a generic interview template.
3
The Program
For each program where you have an interview scheduled, we examine the program’s mission, faculty, training emphasis, and selection patterns. The fact that this program invited you is data. We work backward from that invitation to anticipate what they are evaluating — and we prepare you to answer accordingly.
Without all three, preparation is incomplete. This is what 21+ years of IMG-specific interview prep has taught us.
We appreciate the trust our clients have placed in us, and the years of referrals that brought you here. We do not take that lightly. We will continue to work toward excellence.
We want you to be prepared.

What you get
Medical residency interview preparation: a five-step process refined over 21+ years.
1
Discussion & Intake
Your assigned interview prep expert reviews your full application — CV, personal statement, MSPE, scores, USCE — and identifies the strengths, gaps, and likely interviewer questions specific to your candidacy.
2
Preparation & Study
You receive a curated eBook of interview questions tailored to your specialty. You begin developing your own answers in writing before any mock interviews start.
3
One-on-One Mock Interviews
Multiple hours of individual video-call mock interviews. Real-time feedback. We identify what is working, what isn’t, and what specific phrases need rework. This is the core of the prep.
4
Program Tailoring
For each program where you have an interview scheduled, we review the program’s mission and faculty profiles together so your answers reference the program’s actual training emphasis.
5
Follow-Up Coaching
After your real interviews, we debrief. What went well, what to refine for the next one, what to write in your thank-you note. Coaching continues through interview season.
What sets us apart
Medical residency interview preparation built specifically for IMGs.
Generic medical residency interview preparation does not address the structural realities IMGs face. Ours does.
IMG-Specific Expertise
Every coach on our team has personally guided IMG candidates through US residency interviews. We understand visa questions, medical school accreditation discussions, and the specific concerns programs raise about international training.
One-on-One Only — Never Group
We do not run group sessions. Your prep time is your prep time. Your coach focuses on your application, your specialty, your interviews — not a generalized curriculum.
21+ Years in IMG Consulting
Established 2005. Two decades of seeing what works and what doesn’t through every cycle of NRMP rule changes, ERAS reforms, and shifting program preferences.
Full-Cycle Continuity
Your interview prep coach is part of an integrated team — Match strategy, USCE, ERAS document review, program list construction. Your prep happens in context, not in isolation.
