According to the National Resident Matching Program, a byproduct of the most successful Match year (95.5% in the 2010 Match) is fewer positions available in the post-Match “Scramble”, now known as SOAP. Additionally, IMGs will compete with even a greater number of both Allopathic and Osteopathic medical graduates, continuing a trend that began several years ago. To strengthen their Residency Applicant Competitive Index, members of AmeriClerkships Medical Society can enjoy the following seven benefits:

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

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.
Prepare for medical residency by learning the U.S. healthcare system firsthand:
