Helping International Medical Graduates (IMGs) match into US residency. 🇺🇸

I'm a US-born, US-trained physician (USMD) — medical school and residency at Rutgers, Harvard Medical School Master of Medical Education candidate, 4 years as an admissions counselor, and 3 years as a practicing attending. Last cycle I helped 54 IMGs match into their top-choice programs with a 96% match rate through intensive interview preparation.

This channel breaks down the US residency Match for IMGs applying with ERAS 2027 — application strategy, personal statement and CV tips, program signaling, and residency interview prep that actually works.

Whether you're aiming for internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, neurology, anesthesiology, general surgery, surgical subspecialties, or other competitive specialties, you'll get clear, insider guidance from someone who knows the US system from the inside.
