Description: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions to the normal residency application and Match processes, leaving IMGs applying in the 2021 cycle with many questions about how to optimally navigate this already anxiety-provoking and critical step in their medical career.
Sponsored by the ACP Council of Student Members and presented in conjunction with the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates | Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (ECFMG®|FAIMER®) and the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine (AAIM), this panel discussion will combine perspectives from a key stakeholder and experienced residency program directors from a variety of U.S. training programs to discuss the impact of pandemic-related changes on the residency application and Match processes. The speakers will provide the best available advice for IMGs applying to internal medicine training programs in the United States.
