Mission
To provide guidance and support to IMGs in their journey to match. For the average IMG the match process is not only foreign, but also exhaustive. It requires more than only a medical resume and STEP exams, but we are here to support you.
The match process is holistic, tough, and will challenge even the most experienced applicant. However, it is possible.
We focus on Strategy & Storytelling, and leave the medical stuff to you.
We recognize that you've already worked hard and gained the medical expertise to get this far.
We work with you to bolster your strengths and fortify under-developed areas.
What to Expect
Personalized strategy & story
We brainstorm, develop, refine and iterate. The clearer your story, the clearer your strategy.
Interview preparation
We get you prepared to share who you are, what you have to offer, and why they should choose you.
Mentorship & guidance
Our mentors have been in your shoes and want to help. Yes, they are busy, so we offer mentorship pairings with US medical residents based on availability.
What not to expect
A Ghostwriter
We develop and edit application material, we do not write the application. It's your voice, your work, your experience.
Instructions on where to apply and rank
Our mentors can offer guidance, advice and direction, but they cannot make decisions for you.
Direct connections with USCE
USCE is critical for IMGs and we do our best to strategize how best to incorporate this into an application, but we do not offer resources to USCE at this time.
We're here to support you, but
there is no one who knows your journey and goals better than you.
