The State of International Medical Graduate Education – According to the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), international medical graduates (IMGs) who sought residency positions in the US applied in smaller numbers than in prior years but had greater success in actually finding a postgraduate year 1 position in 2018.  57% of US citizen IMGs matched versus 56% for non-US citizen IMGs.  Both of those rates are the highest since 1993.  In addition, the most IMG-friendly specialties for the 2018 match were Pathology (45%), Internal Medicine (43%), Neurology (35%); and, Family Medicine (30%).
