U.S. Clinical Experience for International Medical Students
Where you train, when you train, and how it is documented — all of it matters before holistic review begins.
U.S. clinical experience is not optional — it is a structural requirement of the Match.
Clerkships, electives, and subinternships in U.S. healthcare systems shape how programs read your application and whether your candidacy clears their selective screening filters.
IMGPrep works with international medical students years before they apply — mapping the trajectory, curating the experiences, and developing an individual plan.

Every U.S. residency program applies a sequence of structural filters before holistic review begins. USCE is evaluated at every gate.
Where you do your clinical experiences, when you do them, and how they are documented all matter — not only to whether you reach interview selection, but to how your candidacy is ranked once you arrive there. IMGPrep evaluates each candidacy against the specific filters of the programs the student intends to target.
