Beyond medical school
Matching into the residency program and specialty you want.
Getting into medical school is only half the journey. The Match is its own high-stakes application process — ERAS, program signaling, away rotations, letters, and the NRMP rank list — with its own version for international medical graduates (IMGs). It rewards the same kind of early, deliberate strategy we use for admissions.
Specialty exploration & fit
Honest guidance on choosing a specialty based on your interests, strengths, board scores, and competitiveness — not just prestige.
ERAS application strategy
Building a program list and application timeline around your specialty's competitiveness and your own goals.
Personal statement & CV
A residency personal statement and CV that reads like a future colleague, not a recycled medical school essay.
Away rotations & letters
Planning sub-internships (Sub-Is) and away rotations that generate strong letters of recommendation from the right people.
Interview preparation
Mock interviews for program-specific and virtual interview formats, with direct feedback on fit and communication.
Rank list & couples match strategy
Building an NRMP rank order list — including guidance for couples matching and research/gap years — that reflects your real priorities.
Program signaling strategy
Deciding where to spend your limited ERAS signals (and gold signals) for maximum impact, based on your specialty's norms and your actual chances at each program.
IMG residency match planning
A tailored strategy for international medical graduates — visa-sponsoring program lists, USMLE/COMLEX timing, US clinical experience (USCE) and letters, and realistic specialty targeting for IMG applicants.
