The Solution

MedMatch helps bridge this large, complex, and challenging gap by providing International Medical Graduates with a structured mentorship program pairing IMG's with U.S. medical resident. This provides IMG's with valuable guidance on navigating the residency application process, building a professional network, and understanding the expectations of U.S. healthcare settings. Depending on the relationship, mentors can help IMGs secure clinical experience opportunities and strong letters of recommendation by facilitating introductions and advocating on their behalf. This support enhances IMGs' competitiveness, bridging the gap created by their initial lack of connections and familiarity with the U.S. medical system.
