Our Services

IMGMatch offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to cover every step of the residency application journey. We pride ourselves on being a one-stop resource for IMGs. Our offerings are professional, thorough, and tailored to individual needs, ensuring you get the most effective preparation and guidance possible. Here’s an overview of what we provide and what makes each service stand out:

One-on-One IMG Mentorship

At the core of IMGMatch is our personalized mentorship program. The moment you sign up, we match you with a dedicated mentor an IMG who matched into your specialty (or a similar one) and has a proven track record. This mentor will be your guide and partner throughout the process. They will create a customized game plan for you, starting from wherever you are (whether you’re just beginning USMLE prep or already have exam scores and are ready to apply).

USMLE Step Exam Prep and Tutoring

A strong performance on USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK (and Step 3, if applicable) is often the foundation of a successful application. We offer personalized tutoring and study planning led by top scorers (90th percentile and above) in each exam

ERAS Application & Personal Statement Support

Crafting a compelling ERAS application is an art. From your personal statement to your CV and the way you describe your experiences, every detail matters in showcasing your strengths to program directors. Our experts provide meticulous editing and guidance to polish your application until it shines. We ensure your passion and qualifications come across clearly and professionally.

Interview Preparation & Mock Interviews

Securing interviews is a huge milestone – now you need to convert them into offers. Our interview preparation service ensures you walk into every interview confidently, knowing how to present yourself and tackle even the toughest questions. We provide coaching on interview skills and realistic mock interview sessions to simulate the actual experience.

U.S. Clinical Experience Guidance

Community & Networking Opportunities

When you join IMGMatch, you become part of a vibrant community of IMGs. We provide forums, group sessions, and networking events (virtual) to help you connect with peers and mentors beyond your assigned advisor. Often, the journey can feel isolating but here, you have a support system at your fingertips.

Our Client Experiences

Success Story

“As an older IMG who needed a visa, I knew my path would be tough. I chose the Premium Plan at IMGMatch because I felt I needed all the help I could get – and it was the best decision ever. The team literally held my hand through everything. My mentor helped me schedule Step 3 quickly to strengthen my profile and guided me in securing two rotations where I got strong recommendation letters. We targeted programs wisely, focusing on those with a history of sponsoring visas. I cannot emphasize how valuable the interview coaching was: one of my interviews had a panel of 5 people grilling me on ethics and past experiences – but I had practiced those scenarios with IMGMatch, so I handled it calmly. In the end, I not only matched, I matched into a competitive specialty (General Surgery), and at a program that offers J1 visas. My mentor was one of the first people I called after my parents. The level of dedication and personalized care from IMGMatch is astounding. I felt like more than a client; I felt like they were as invested in my success as I was. If you’re an IMG with big dreams, this is the team you want behind you.”

“IMGMatch was a game-changer for me after I had gone unmatched previously. I graduated 5 years ago and had decent scores but no U.S. research and a gap in my CV. I was pretty discouraged. My mentor at IMGMatch didn’t sugarcoat my situation – he helped me confront the weaknesses head-on and turn them into talking points of growth. We revamped my application completely: I got a U.S. observership through their network (and a great LOR from it), we rewrote my personal statement to highlight the clinical and life experience I gained during my gap, and we did at least 5 mock interviews to rebuild my confidence. Honestly, the mentorship boosted my confidence as much as it improved my application. When interviewers asked about my gap year, I delivered an answer we had polished together, and I could see they were impressed. This time, I landed multiple interviews and matched into a family medicine program in California! I’m absolutely convinced that without IMGMatch I’d still be on the outside looking in. They don’t just prepare your application, they prepare you as a whole package.”

“I matched into my first-choice program on the first attempt – something I never thought possible as an IMG. IMGMatch paired me with a mentor who was basically a dream come true: she was an alumnus of the very program I hoped to get into! From day one, she treated me like a colleague and guided me step by step – we improved my personal statement, practiced interview questions late into the evenings, and even strategized which programs to prioritize. I especially loved how detailed the feedback was at every stage. When I got my interview at my top program, I was overjoyed – and nervous – but my mentor had prepared me so well that the interview felt almost familiar. On Match Day, I screamed so loud when I saw I matched! My family still can’t believe it. This service is worth every penny – it’s like having a personal champion in your corner.”
