International Medical Graduates, 2018
2018 Introduction
Background
The first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match was published in August 2006 to document how applicant qualifications affect success
in the Main Residency Match®. The report was published biennially between 2007 and 2011 and was a collaboration of the National
Resident Matching Program® (NRMP®) and the Association of American Medical Colleges® (AAMC®). Match outcome data from the
NRMP were combined with applicant characteristics from the AAMC’s Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS®) and United
States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE®) scores from the AAMC data warehouse. In 2013, NRMP collaborated with the
Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG®) to produce the first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match for
International Medical Graduates using some variables unique to U.S. citizen and non-U.S. citizen students and graduates of international
medical schools (IMGs). In 2014, NRMP added a Professional Profile section to its Match registration process to collect USMLE scores
and other applicant characteristics and those have been used to independently publish all subsequent Charting Outcomes in the Match
reports.
With the exception of the 2013 report, all versions of Charting Outcomes in the Match published prior to 2016 examined the Match
success of only two applicant groups: senior students from U.S. allopathic medical schools and independent applicants. Independent
applicants included all applicant types other than U.S. seniors: previous graduates of U.S. allopathic medical schools, students/graduates of
osteopathic medical schools, students/graduates of Fifth Pathway programs, students/graduates of Canadian medical schools, and U.S.
citizen and non-U.S. citizen students/graduates of international medical schools. Because independent applicants are a heterogeneous
group, a decision was made in 2016 to report data separately for U.S. allopathic medical school seniors, students/graduates of osteopathic
medical schools, and U.S. citizen and non-U.S. citizen students/graduates of international medical schools. In 2018, senior students of
osteopathic medical schools are reported separately, and there is no report for osteopathic medical school graduates because their numbers
are so small.
Definition of International Medical Graduate (IMG)

An international medical graduate (IMG) is a physician who received a basic medical degree or qualification from a medical school located
outside the United States and Canada. The location of the medical school, not the citizenship of the physician, determines whether the
graduate is an IMG. Thus, individuals who are U.S. citizens when they graduate from an international medical school are U.S. IMGs, and
individuals who are not U.S. citizens at the time of medical school graduation are non-U.S. IMGs even if they later become U.S. citizens.
Non-U.S. citizens who graduate from medical schools in the United States and Canada are not IMGs.
Data
Match success, specialty preference, and ranking information were collected through the Main Residency Match. Other applicant
characteristics, including USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores, academic degrees, publications, research, and work and volunteer
experiences, were self-reported through the Professional Profile section of the NRMP’s Applicant Registration Form for the Match. To
complete the form, applicants were asked to answer the questions as they did in their ERAS Common Application Form (CAF).
Completion of the form was optional, and applicants who completed the form could consent or decline to participate in NRMP research.
Data collection using the self-reported Professional Profile section was granted exemption by the Chesapeake (now Advarra) Institutional
Review Board (IRB).
A total of 12,142 IMG applicants (5,075 U.S. IMGs and 7,067 non-U.S. IMGs) submitted certified rank order lists in the 2018 Main
Residency Match. After excluding the 14.4 percent of U.S. IMGs and 9.8 percent of non-U.S. IMGs who did not give consent to participate
in NRMP research, 11,045 IMG applicants (4,344 U.S. IMGs and 6,377 non-U.S. IMGs) were included in the final dataset. Missing data
were found in Step 1 scores (9.7% missing for U.S. IMGs and 6.0% for non-U.S. IMGs), Step 2 CK scores (11.0% and 6.7%), number of
research experiences (21.9% and 19.4%), number of abstracts, presentations, and publications (23.7% and 19.4%), number of work
experiences (18.4% and 13.0%), number of volunteer experiences (18.9% and 16.0%), Ph.D. degree (10.8% and 8.2%), and other graduate
degree (10.3% and 8.0%).
Methods
Specialties that offered 50 or more positions and had at least 7 matched or unmatched applicants of either applicant type preferring the
specialty in the 2018 Main Residency Match are included in this report. Although Interventional Radiology, Otolaryngology, and Radiation
Oncology each offered more than 50 positions, they are excluded from the specialty-specific analyses in this report because very few IMGs
preferred those specialties. Likewise, specialty-specific analyses of Child Neurology, Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, and Vascular Surgery
are excluded for U.S. IMGs because of the small numbers. Transitional Year programs are excluded because they are not viewed as a
specialty choice.

2018 Introduction (continued)
Ten measures are incorporated in this report: number of contiguous ranks in the preferred specialty, number of specialties ranked,
USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores, numbers of research, work, and volunteer experiences, number of abstracts, presentations, and
publications, and Ph.D. and other graduate degrees. In addition, the probability of matching to a preferred specialty is calculated based on
USMLE Step 1 scores and contiguous ranks. Probability analyses were performed using a simple logistic regression model on IMGs who
participated in the Match in 2016, 2017, and 2018. The 2013 Charting Outcomes in the Match for International Medical Graduates
incorporated characteristics provided by ECFMG that are not included in this report: attempts at USMLE, number of months after
ECFMG certification, number of years since graduation, and English spoken as a native language.
It is important to note that for purposes of this report, Match success is defined as a match to the specialty of the applicant’s first-ranked
program, or "preferred specialty," because that is assumed to be the specialty of choice. Lack of success includes matching to another
specialty as well as failure to match at all. No distinction was made based on whether applicants matched to the first, second, third, or
lower choice program.
Summary
Some general observations apply to all specialties in this report. IMGs who are successful in matching to their preferred specialty are
more likely to:
 Rank more programs within their preferred specialty
 Have higher USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores
 Be U.S. citizens
Although other measures seem to be related to Match success for some specialties, the relationships are not consistent enough to draw
broad conclusions across specialties. In addition, the data sources used for this report do not include other important applicant factors
such as course evaluations, reference letters, and the Medical School Performance Evaluation (MSPE).
Despite the fairly strong relationship between USMLE Step scores and Match success, the distributions of scores show that program
directors consider other qualifications. A high score is not a guarantee of success, and a low score is not a bar to success. Even in the
most competitive specialties a few individuals with high scores are not successful. In the less competitive specialties, IMGs with scores
slightly above passing also were able to match to their preferred specialties.
The data in this report support the following straightforward advice one should give to an applicant:
 Rank all of the programs you really want, without regard to your estimate of your chances with those programs.
 Include a mix of both highly competitive and less competitive programs within your preferred specialty.
 Include all of the programs on your list where the program has expressed an interest in you and where you would accept a position.
 If you are applying to a competitive specialty and you want to have a residency position in the event you are unsuccessful in
matching to a program in your preferred specialty, also rank your most preferred programs in an alternate specialty.
 Include all of your qualifications in your application, but know that you do not have to have the highest USMLE scores, have
publications, or have participated in research projects to match successfully.
Program directors and applicants will find the tables and charts for the specialty of their particular interest later in this report.

Table 1 provides a summary of the numbers of applicants and positions for selected specialties. For example, a total of
2,004 applicants preferred Anesthesiology (or ranked an Anesthesiology position first), among whom 192 were U.S. IMGs
(122 matched and 70 not matched to Anesthesiology) and 199 were non-U.S. IMGs (120 matched and 79 not matched to
Anesthesiology). For each of the 1,840 Anesthesiology positions there were 1.09 applicants who preferred the specialty.
Only those specialties that offered 50 or more positions and had at least 7 matched or unmatched IMG applicants are
included in this report. Very few U.S. IMGs preferred Child Neurology, Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, or Vascular
Surgery. As a result, only the non-U.S. IMG data are displayed in most charts throughout this report. For specialties
offering both PGY-1 and PGY-2 positions (including Physician (R) positions), all position types have been combined.

Chart 2 shows the ratios of U.S. IMGs, non-U.S. IMGs, and all other applicants to available positions in each specialty. For
all specialties displayed in the chart except Child Neurology, the number of applicants preferring each specialty was equal
to or more than the number of available positions. For all applicants, Psychiatry had the highest ratio of applicants per
position; however, the highest ratio for U.S. IMGs was in Family Medicine and for non-U.S. IMGs in Internal Medicine.

Chart 3 shows the percentages of U.S. IMGs and non-U.S. IMGs who matched to their preferred specialty. Overall, 51.2
percent of U.S. IMGs matched to their preferred specialty, ranging from a high of 69.8 percent in Pediatrics to a low of
30.0 percent in Psychiatry. For non-U.S. IMGs, the overall match rate was 51.4 percent, ranging from a high of 66.7
percent in Pathology to a low of 15.0 percent in Orthopaedic Surgery. Match rates were higher for U.S. IMGs than
non-U.S. IMGs for all specialties except Child Neurology, Dermatology, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Pathology, and
Psychiatry. No U.S. IMG matched in Neurological Surgery or Vascular Surgery.

In general, applicants are more likely to be successful if they rank more programs in their desired specialty. To quantify
this aspect of applicant behavior, we tallied the number of programs ranked in the first-choice specialty before a program
in another specialty appeared on the applicant's rank order list (contiguous ranks).
Chart 4 displays the median number of contiguous ranks by preferred specialty for U.S. IMGs and non-U.S. IMGs who
matched and did not match to their preferred specialty. Both applicant types show variation across specialties. For almost
all specialties, U.S. IMGs who matched to their preferred specialty had median contiguous rank lists that were longer than
those of U.S. IMGs who did not match. The same pattern can be found for non-U.S. IMGs, although the lists of matched
non-U.S. IMGs were in many cases shorter than those submitted by U.S. IMGs.
The principal message of this chart is that applicants with longer rank order lists are more successful than those with
shorter rank order lists. The NRMP has been recommending longer lists for many years, but some applicants apparently do
not heed the advice. Applicants who submit shorter rank order lists may do so because they find only a few programs
willing to entertain their applications or because they cannot afford a large number of interview trips.

Some applicants are interested in a single specialty while others consider two or more. Chart 5 displays the average number
of different specialties ranked by IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome. The numbers of specialties
ranked by IMGs who matched or did not match to their preferred specialty were similar with the exception of Neurology
for U.S. IMGs and Internal Medicine/Pediatrics and Physical Mediation and Rehabilitation for non-U.S. IMGs. No U.S.
IMG matched in Neurological Surgery.

USMLE Step 1 scores are a measure of an applicant's understanding of important basic science concepts and the ability to
apply that knowledge to the practice of medicine. Although such knowledge is only one facet of applicant qualifications
considered by program directors in their selection process, a Step 1 score is the only qualification that is universally
available for all applicants during the interview season and prior to the NRMP’s ranking deadline. Overall, matched U.S.
IMGs had mean USMLE Step 1 scores of 222.5 (s.d. = 16.1) and matched non-U.S. IMGs had mean USMLE Step 1 scores
of 234.1 (s.d. = 16.4), both well above the 2018 minimum passing score of 194. Step 1 scores were available for 90 percent
of U.S. IMGs and 94 percent of non-U.S. IMGs who gave consent to research.
Chart 6 displays the Step 1 scores by specialty for matched and unmatched U.S. IMGs (top panel) and non-U.S. IMGs
(bottom panel). The horizontal bars are the median values for successful applicants and the vertical lines show the
interquartile ranges (IQR, the range of scores for applicants excluding the top and bottom quarters of the distribution).
Specialties with too few data points lack the vertical bar. Across all specialties except Orthopaedic Surgery, the IQR of U.S.
IMGs who matched to their preferred specialty was higher than the IQR of those who did not match. The same trend was
found among non-U.S. IMGs for all specialties except Orthopaedic Surgery and Plastic Surgery. No U.S. IMG matched in
Neurological Surgery.

USMLE Step 2 CK scores are a measure of an applicant's ability to apply the medical knowledge, skills, and understanding
of clinical science essential for providing patient care. Overall, matched U.S. IMGs had mean USMLE Step 2 CK scores of
232.2 (s.d. = 14.2) and matched non-U.S. IMGs had mean USMLE Step 2 CK scores of 239.7 (s.d. = 15.0), both well above
the 2018 minimum passing score of 209. Step 2 CK scores were available for 89 percent of U.S. IMGs and 93 percent of
non-U.S. IMGs who gave consent to research.
Chart 7 shows the Step 2 CK scores for U.S. IMGs (top panel) and non-U.S. IMGs (bottom panel) who did and did not
match to their preferred specialty. The horizontal bars are the median values for successful applicants and the vertical lines
show the interquartile ranges. Specialties with too few data points lack the vertical bar. As was the case for Step 1 scores, in
most specialties U.S. IMGs who matched to their preferred specialties had higher scores than U.S. IMGs who did not match
to their preferred specialties. The same trend was seen among non-U.S. IMGs. The exceptions - specialties for which the
score ranges are similar or higher for unmatched applicants - are Orthopaedic Surgery for U.S. IMGs and Obstetrics and
Gynecology, Orthopaedic Surgery, Plastic Surgery and Vascular Surgery for non-U.S. IMGs. No U.S. IMG matched in
Neurological Surgery.

Applicants were asked to report the number of research experiences they entered in their Electronic Residency Application
Service (ERAS) applications. The experiences are not verified or evaluated and quality may vary greatly. Chart 8 shows
the average number of research experiences by IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome. U.S. IMGs
averaged 2.1 research experiences, with 59.8 percent reporting at least one research experience. Non-U.S. IMGs averaged
2.5 research experiences, with 69.0 percent reporting at least one research experience. Across all specialties, there is no
consistent pattern between matched and unmatched applicants for U.S. IMGs, but matched non-U.S. IMGs had more
research experiences than their unmatched counterparts in competitive specialties such as Dermatology, General Surgery,
and Neurological Surgery. No U.S. IMG matched in Neurological Surgery.

Applicants were asked to list the number of abstracts, presentations, and publications they reported in their ERAS
applications. This information is self-reported and may include peer-reviewed articles, abstracts, poster sessions, and invited
national or regional presentations. Some residency programs may independently verify and even review publications for
applicants in whom they have an interest, but most probably do not.
Many applicants report abstracts, presentations, or publications, sometimes dozens or even hundreds. In the individual
specialty sections, we distinguish between no publications, 1 to 5 publications, and more than 5 publications. Chart 9 shows
the average number of publications by IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome.
Less than half of U.S. IMGs (48.3%) reported at least one publication, compared to almost two-thirds (65.0%) of non-U.S.
IMGs. The average number of publications was of 2.9 for U.S. IMGs and 6.2 for non-U.S. IMGs. Large numbers of
publications can be found in surgical specialties such as Orthopaedic Surgery for U.S. IMGs and Neurological Surgery,
Orthopaedic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, and Vascular Surgery for non-U.S. IMGs. In those specialties, matched IMGs
generally had more publications than IMGs who did not match in their preferred specialty. In other specialties, however,
there is no distinctive pattern in either applicant group.

Applicants were asked to list the number of work experiences they reported in their ERAS applications. Chart 10 shows the
average number of work experiences by IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome. Only in Diagnostic
Radiology, Emergency Medicine, and Internal Medicine/Pediatrics did matched U.S. IMGs have more work experiences than
those who did not match to their preferred specialty. The mean numbers of work experience are similar between matched and
unmatched non-U.S. IMGs across all specialties with the exception of Child Neurology, Dermatology, Orthopaedic Surgery,
Plastic Surgery, and Vascular Surgery. Across all specialties, non-U.S. IMGs averaged slightly more work experiences than
U.S. IMGs (5.7 compared to 4.5). A larger proportion of non-U.S. IMGs (85.2% compared to 76.9% for U.S. IMGs) reported
at least one work experience.

Applicants were asked to list the number of volunteer experiences they reported in their ERAS applications. Chart 11
displays the average number of volunteer experiences by IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome. In
most specialties, matched IMGs in both groups had more volunteer experiences. Most noticeable are Emergency Medicine
for U.S. IMGs and Plastic Surgery for non-U.S. IMGs.
Overall, U.S. IMGs averaged 4.6 volunteer experiences and non-U.S. IMGs averaged 3.6 volunteer experiences. At least
one volunteer experience was reported by 77.6 percent of U.S. IMGs and 79.1 percent of non-U.S. IMGs.

Chart 12 shows by preferred specialty, match status, and IMG applicant type the percentage of IMGs who have a Ph.D.
degree. A larger proportion of non-U.S. IMGs (3.3%) reported Ph.D. degrees compared to U.S. IMGs (1.3%). Although the
percentages of Ph.D. degree holders are higher in Pathology for U.S. IMGs and Dermatology, Neurological Surgery, and
Pathology for non-U.S. IMGs, the numbers of IMGs holding Ph.D. degrees are too small to draw meaningful conclusions
across specialties.

Chart 13 shows by preferred specialty, match status and IMG applicant type the percentage of IMGs who have a graduate
degree other than a Ph.D. For all specialties but Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine/Pediatrics, a larger proportion
of U.S. IMGs who did not match to their preferred specialty reported a graduate degree than did their matched counterparts.
The same trend can be found among non-U.S. IMGs with the exception of Internal Medicine/Pediatrics, Obstetrics and
Gynecology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Vascular Surgery. No U.S. IMG matched in Neurological Surgery.
