You must learn to compete at your BEST!
International Medical Graduates must overcome 10x higher unmatched rate
With only 4.9% unmatched rate, the 2012 Main Match marked the highest residency match rate for U.S. Medical School Seniors in 30 years. Unfortunately, the outcome was not as favorable for U.S. Citizen Students/Graduates of International Medical Schools (50.9% unmatched), Non-U.S. Citizen Students/Graduates of International Medical Schools (59.4% unmatched), and Students/Graduates of Fifth Pathway Programs (66.7% unmatched). Additionally a byproduct of the most successful Match year is fewer positions available during SOAP*.
“We Make Doctors”: whether you are a Students or a Graduates of an International Medical Schools (IMG), AmeriClerkships Medical Society can help you and your sponsoring institution. Our unparalleled industry expertise, reach and experience has enabled us to offer the widest range of clinical experiences known to date, including Teaching Hospital Guarantee (THG) clinical clerkships that meet some of the toughest state medical licensing verification requirements (i.e. Georgia, Oklahoma and California) of clinical clerkships conducted by IMGs in connection with U.S. teaching hospitals and medical schools (THG-Verfied: True Green Book Rotations). To strengthen their Residency Applicant Competitive Index, Certified and Fellow Members of AmeriClerkships Medical Society are gradually immersed and acculturated into the U.S. healthcare system through tightly supervised insured mentorship.

2. Capture the interest of admission committee members with an articulated residency application package:

3. Gain insured hands-on U.S. clinical experience supervised by licensed physicians:
Receive Clinical Performance Evaluations based on the eight medical core competencies recognized by U.S. residency programs, and request performance-based U.S. letters of recommendation.
4. Prepare for medical residency by learning the U.S. healthcare system firsthand:
Covered by extensive medical liability insurance, members will learn documenting methods such as charting, SOAP notes, admitting and discharge orders, electronic as well as hand-written data systems; conduct oral case presentations and share physical findings; communicate with patients and families, colleagues and medical staff. Senior Acculturation Advisors will conduct mandatory orientations that focus on communication, assimilation, bedside manner, as well as patient and physician interaction.
