The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) describes an International Medical Graduate (IMG) as a physician who received a basic medical degree or qualification from a medical school located. Outside the United States and Canada. If you are an IMG who wants to pursue residency training in the United States, here’s the IMG residential application timeline to follow. We’ve also curated a checklist at the end of the guide to ensure you don’t miss anything. IMG Residency Application TimelineJune 2022: Start Researching Residency ProgramsSearch for US residency programs. You can use the Residency Explorer Tool to create a list of residency programs. The tool lets you research US residency programs in 23 specialties. Alternatively, you can use AAMC’s list of residency programs and specialties to find programs. You can also attend a virtual residency fair to learn about specific residency programs. Likewise, you can check out IMGPrep’s Residency Program list to find the perfect residency program for you. The IMGPrep Residency Programs List allows you to enter your specific medical school to see where Alumni from your school has matched and what program would be a perfect fit for you, given you have a unique SUVY, Score, US clinical experience, Visa status, and year of graduation. It helps to compare your characteristics to applicants who have matched the programs previously to get an idea of your competitiveness. Residency tokens become available on June 28. Before you register for ERAS, check if you’re eligible. If you are, apply for your ERAS token via ECFMG. You can find the token application and payment options in the ERAS Support Services section. The Electronic Residency Application Service® (ERAS®) Residency Tokens are available through OASIS ECFMG’s Online Applicant Status and Information System. The ERAS®Token will allow applicants to register on the MyERAS website of AAMC starting June 28th, 2022. Once you have your token, you may begin working on your application.
