The Standard

Selective on Both Sides

IMGPrep does not sell rotations. We recruit attending physicians with established histories of teaching in leadership roles — clerkship and program faculty, physicians who have shaped the training of students and residents — and we assign them our top candidates. Placement is specialty-concordant by design: an internist precepts a candidate committed to internal medicine, a family physician a candidate committed to family medicine, across every discipline we place. The supervising attending therefore evaluates the candidate against the actual expectations of the intended specialty, and the resulting letter speaks directly to the programs that will read it.

Each engagement is a four-week block with a single candidate. The preceptor receives the candidate’s complete dossier — qualitative and quantitative — before the rotation begins, and the rotation itself mirrors a fourth-year clerkship: histories, initial diagnostic reasoning, and attending-led discussion of every dimension of patient care.

Outcomes

Our Track Record

Over more than a decade, IMGPrep has maintained a close to perfect match rate among its candidates. Our applicants have matched into top university programs across the country, and our previous candidates have progressed through U.S. graduate medical education into careers as attending physicians, residency faculty, and program directors. These outcomes span the breadth of graduate medical education:

Internal MedicineFamily MedicineGeneral SurgeryNeurosurgeryAnesthesiologyOphthalmologyDermatologyNeurologyChild NeurologyPsychiatryObstetrics & GynecologyPediatricsEmergency MedicinePhysical Medicine & Rehabilitation

Every candidate placed into a preceptorship has cleared the same structural screens residency programs apply — ECFMG certification eligibility, USMLE progression toward a PGY-1 application in the same academic year, and $1–3 million in liability coverage, identical to their U.S. counterparts.

Partnership

The Working Relationship

Our preceptorships are not single engagements. Many of our attendings have worked with IMGPrep for years, across successive application cycles — a continuity that reflects the standard we hold on both sides of the relationship.

Competitive Stipend

The stipend acknowledges the time and expertise you invest in teaching. Our role is to ensure that investment is matched by thoughtful candidate preparation, careful placement, and a learning experience worthy of your commitment.
