How to execute a good residency application?

If you are an IMG and wish to obtain a residency training spot in the USA, understanding the system is essential (and this cannot be stressed enough). For example, applicants often ask whether they need a unique statement tailored towards university-affiliated community residency programs.? When you apply to university-affiliated community residency programs, highlighting your clinical experience is vital. You may have a lot of research experience, but it is crucial to highlight your clinical experience over your research experience. You can do this both in your statement and letters of recommendation.

A few other common questions are: 1) Do attempts on the USMLEs affect the application, and how can this be remediated? 2) Do training programs have filters that may automatically decline applications? 3) How do I explain a gap in my CV?

We can help you navigate answers to all these questions and lots more. What is essential is conceptualizing the application process as a machine with multiple moving parts. Any squeaky wheel or circuit can toast your application. Consider contacting us today; we can offer suggestions to get your application in order. Timely advice is crucial, especially for a complicated process that is tough to encompass if you are new to the system.
