2022 Introduction
Background
The first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match was published in August 2006 to document how applicant qualifications affect
outcomes in the Main Residency Match®. The report was published biennially between 2007 and 2011 and, initially, was a collaboration of
the National Resident Matching Program® (NRMP®) and the Association of American Medical Colleges® (AAMC®). Match outcome data
from the NRMP were combined with applicant characteristics from the AAMC’s Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS®) and
United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE®) scores from the AAMC data warehouse. In 2013, NRMP collaborated with the
Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG®) to produce the first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match for
International Medical Graduates using some variables unique to U.S. citizen and non-U.S. citizen students and graduates of international
medical schools (IMGs). Starting with the 2014 Main Residency Match, the NRMP added an Academic Information section to its Match
registration process to collect USMLE scores and other applicant characteristics, and those have been used to independently produce all
subsequent Charting Outcomes in the Match reports.
With the exception of the 2013 report, all versions of Charting Outcomes in the Match published prior to 2016 examined the Match
outcomes of only two applicant groups: senior students from U.S. MD medical schools and independent applicants. Independent applicants
included all applicant types other than U.S. MD seniors: graduates of U.S. MD medical schools, students/graduates of U.S. DO medical
schools, students/graduates of Fifth Pathway programs, students/graduates of Canadian medical schools, and U.S. citizen and non-U.S.
citizen students/graduates of international medical schools. Because independent applicants are a heterogeneous group, a decision was
made in 2016 to report data separately for U.S. MD medical school seniors, students/graduates of U.S. DO medical schools,
and U.S. citizen/non-U.S. citizen students/graduates of international medical schools. In 2018, reports were further refined to
highlight senior students of U.S. DO medical schools separately and eliminating reporting on U.S. DO medical school graduates because
their numbers are so small. This report is the fourth edition of the Charting Outcomes in the Match for International Medical Graduates.
Definition of International Medical Graduate (IMG)
An international medical graduate (IMG) is a physician who received a basic medical degree or qualification from a medical school located
outside the United States and Canada. The location of the medical school, not the citizenship of the physician, determines whether the
graduate is an IMG. Thus, individuals who are U.S. citizens when they graduate from an international medical school are U.S. IMGs, and
individuals who are not U.S. citizens at the time of medical school graduation are non-U.S. IMGs even if they later become U.S. citizens.
Non-U.S. citizens who graduate from medical schools in the United States and Canada are not IMGs.
Data
Match outcome, specialty preference, and ranking information were collected through the Main Residency Match. Other applicant
characteristics, including USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) scores, academic degrees, publications, as well as research,
work and volunteer experiences, were self-reported through the Academic Information section of the NRMP’s Applicant Registration Form
for the Match. To complete the form, applicants were asked to answer the questions as they did in their ERAS Common Application Form
(CAF). Completion of the form was optional, and applicants who completed the form could consent or decline to participate in NRMP
research. Data collection using the self-reported Academic Information section was granted exemption by the Advarra Institutional
Review Board (IRB).
A total of 12,912 IMG applicants (7,864 U.S. IMGs and 5,048 non-U.S. IMGs) submitted certified rank order lists in the 2022 Main
Residency Match. After excluding the 15.7 percent of U.S. IMGs and 31.1 percent of non-U.S. IMGs who did not give consent to
participate in NRMP research, 10,106 IMG applicants (3,814 U.S. IMGs and 6,292 non-U.S. IMGs) were included in the final dataset.
Missing data were found in Step 1 scores (5.5% missing for U.S. IMGs and 3.3% for non-U.S. IMGs), Step 2 scores (8.0% and 4.1%),
number of research experiences (15.3% and 12.0%), number of abstracts, presentations, and publications (16.3% and 11.9%), number of
work experiences (11.4% and 8.0%), number of volunteer experiences (12.0% and 9.9%), Ph.D. degree (7.8% and 5.5%), and other
graduate degree (6.9% and 5.4%).
Methods
Specialties that offered 50 or more positions and had at least 7 matched or unmatched applicants of either applicant type preferring the
specialty in the 2022 Main Residency Match are included in this report, with the following exceptions. Although Otolaryngology offered
more than 50 positions, they are excluded from the specialty-specific analyses in this report because very few IMGs preferred those
specialties. Likewise, specialty-specific analyses of Dermatology, Radiation Oncology, and Vascular Surgery are excluded for U.S. IMGs
because of the small numbers. Transitional Year programs are excluded because they are not viewed as a preferred specialty choice.

2022 Introduction (continued)
Ten measures are incorporated in this report: number of contiguous ranks in the preferred specialty, number of specialties ranked,
USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores, numbers of research, work, and volunteer experiences, number of abstracts, presentations, and
publications, and Ph.D. and other graduate degrees. In addition, the probability of matching to a preferred specialty is calculated based on
USMLE Step 1 scores and contiguous ranks. Probability analyses were performed using a simple logistic regression model on IMGs who
participated in the Match in 2020, 2021, and 2022. The 2013 Charting Outcomes in the Match for International Medical Graduates
incorporated characteristics provided by ECFMG that are not included in this report: attempts at USMLE, number of months after
ECFMG certification, number of years since graduation, and English spoken as a native language.
This report examines whether a match was made to the specialty of the applicant’s first-ranked program, or "preferred specialty,"
because that is assumed to be the specialty of choice. IMGs who match to a specialty not ranked first on the rank order list or who do not
match are not included in analyses. No distinction was made based on whether applicants matched to the first, second, third, or lower
choice program.
Summary
Some general observations apply to all specialties in this report. IMGs who match to their preferred specialty are more likely to:
Rank more programs within their preferred specialty
Have higher USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores
Be U.S. citizens
It is important to note that other factors also likely contribute to matching to a preferred specialty. As examples, the data sources used for
Charting Outcomes in the Match do not include important applicant factors such as course evaluations, reference letters, and any form of
letter summarizing the applicant's performance while in medical school.
Despite the fairly strong relationship between USMLE Step scores and matching to a preferred specialty, the distributions of scores show
that program directors consider other qualifications. A high score is not a guarantee of matching, and a low score is not a bar to
matching. In the more competitive specialties, IMGs with high scores may not match to their preferred specialties. In less competitive
specialties, IMGs with scores slightly above passing usually match to their preferred specialties. The data are reassuring because they
indicate that some programs do not employ an arbitrary cutoff or decline to consider applicants with less competitive scores.
The data in this report support the following straightforward advice one should give to an applicant:
Rank the programs with which you've interviewed in the order you most prefer them.
Include a mix of both hcompetitive and less competitive programs within your preferred specialty.
Include all programs on your list where you would be willing to train if matched.
Include all of your qualifications in your application, but know that you do not have to have the highest USMLE scores, have
publications, or have participated in research projects to match to your preferred specialty.
Program directors and applicants will find the tables and charts for the specialty of their particular interest later in this report.

Table 1 provides a summary of the numbers of applicants and positions for selected specialties. For example, a total of
2,560 applicants preferred Anesthesiology (or ranked an Anesthesiology program first), among whom 183 were U.S. IMGs
(100 matched and 83 not matched to Anesthesiology) and 186 were non-U.S. IMGs (73 matched and 113 not matched to
Anesthesiology). For each of the 1,969 Anesthesiology positions there were 1.30 applicants who preferred the specialty.
Only those specialties that offered 50 or more positions and had at least 7 matched or unmatched IMG applicants are
included in this report. Very few U.S. IMGs preferred Interventional Radiology or Vascular Surgery. As a result, only the
non-U.S. IMG data are displayed in most charts throughout this report for those specialties. For specialties offering both
PGY-1 and PGY-2 positions (including Physician (R) positions), all position types have been combined.

Chart 2 shows the ratios of U.S. IMGs, non-U.S. IMGs, and all other applicants to available positions in each specialty. For
all specialties displayed in the chart except Child Neurology, Emergency Medicine and Radiation Oncology, the number of
applicants preferring each specialty was equal to or more than the number of available positions. For all applicants, Plastic
Surgery had the highest ratio of applicants per position; however, the highest ratio for U.S. IMGs was in Family Medicine
and for non-U.S. IMGs, Pathology.

Chart 3 shows the percentages of U.S. IMGs and non-U.S. IMGs who matched to their preferred specialty. Overall, 54.8
percent of U.S. IMGs matched to their preferred specialty, ranging from a high of 78.6 percent in Emergency Medicine to a
low of 22.2 percent in Neurological Surgery. For non-U.S. IMGs, the overall match rate was 53.5 percent, ranging from a
high of 68.3 percent in Emergency Medicine to a low of 25.8 percent in General Surgery. Match rates were lower for U.S.
IMGs than non-U.S. IMGs in Child Neurology, Diagnostic Radiology, Neurological Surgery, Orthopaedic Surgery,
Pathology, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Plastic Surgery. Data were not reported for U.S. IMGs
preferring Radiation Oncology.

In general, applicants are more likely to be successful if they rank more programs in their desired specialty. To quantify
this aspect of applicant behavior, we tallied the number of programs ranked in the first-choice specialty before a program
in another specialty appeared on the applicant's rank order list (contiguous ranks).
Chart 4 displays the median number of contiguous ranks by preferred specialty for U.S. IMGs and non-U.S. IMGs who
matched and did not match to their preferred specialty. Both applicant types show variation across specialties. For almost
all specialties, U.S. IMGs who matched to their preferred specialty had median contiguous rank lists that were longer than
those of U.S. IMGs who did not match. Non-U.S. IMGs follow a similar pattern, although the number of contiguous ranks
of matched non-U.S. IMGs were typically shorter than those submitted by U.S. IMGs.
The principal message of these graphs is that applicants with longer rank order lists are more successful than those with
shorter rank order lists.

Many applicants are interested in a single specialty while others consider two or more. Chart 5 displays the average number
of different specialties ranked by IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome. The mean numbers of
specialties ranked by IMGs who matched to their preferred specialty were similar (within 0.5) to those who did not match,
with a few exceptions: Neurological Surgery, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Plastic Surgery for U.S. IMGs, and
Child Neurology, Orthopaedic Surgery and Plastic Surgery for non-U.S. IMGs.

USMLE Step 2 CK scores are a measure of an applicant's ability to apply the medical knowledge, skills, and understanding
of clinical science essential for providing patient care. Overall, matched U.S. IMGs had mean USMLE Step 2 CK scores of
233.0 (s.d. = 14.3) and matched non-U.S. IMGs had mean USMLE Step 2 scores of 242.9 (s.d. = 14.9), both well above the
2022 minimum passing score of 209. Step 2 scores were available for 92 percent of U.S. IMGs and 95.9 percent of
non-U.S. IMGs who gave consent to research.
Chart 7 shows the Step 2 scores for U.S. IMGs (top panel) and non-U.S. IMGs (bottom panel) who did and did not match to
their preferred specialty. The horizontal bars are the median values and the vertical lines show the interquartile ranges.
Specialties with too few data points lack the vertical bar. As was the case for Step 1 scores, in most specialties U.S. IMGs
who matched to their preferred specialties had higher scores than U.S. IMGs who did not match to their preferred
specialties. The same trend was seen among non-U.S. IMGs.

Applicants were asked to report the number of research experiences they entered in their Electronic Residency Application
Service (ERAS) applications. The experiences are not verified or evaluated and quality may vary greatly. Chart 8 shows the
average number of research experiences by IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome. U.S. IMGs
averaged 2.5 research experiences, with 84.7 percent reporting at least one research experience. Non-U.S. IMGs averaged 2.9
research experiences, with 88.0 percent reporting at least one research experience. In most specialties, matched U.S. IMGs
reported a greater number of research experiences than their unmatched counterparts. Data is unavailable for matched IMG
applicants preferring Neurological Surgery due to the very low numbers of unmatched applicants. Matched non-U.S. IMGs
also reported considerably greater numbers of research experiences than unmatched non-U.S. IMGs in competitive specialties
such as Dermatology, Interventional Radiology, Orthopaedic Surgery, and Vascular Surgery, as well as in Radiation
Oncology.

Applicants were asked to list the number of abstracts, presentations, and publications they reported in their ERAS
applications. This information is self-reported and may include peer-reviewed articles, abstracts, poster sessions, and invited
national or regional presentations. Some residency programs may independently verify and even review publications for
applicants in whom they have an interest, but most probably do not.
Many applicants report abstracts, presentations, or publications, sometimes dozens or even hundreds. In the individual
specialty sections, we distinguish between no publications, 1 to 5 publications, and more than 5 publications. Chart 9 shows
the average number of publications by IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome.
83.7 percent of U.S. IMGs reported at least one publication, compared to 88.1 percent of non-U.S. IMGs. The average
number of publications was 4.0 for U.S. IMGs and 7.3 for non-U.S. IMGs. Large numbers of publications can be found in
surgical specialties such as Dermatology, Interventional Radiology, Neurological Surgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, Plastic
Surgery, and Vascular Surgery. The sample sizes for those specialties are generally small for IMGs. Data is unavailable for
matched U.S. IMGs preferring Neurological Surgery due to the very low numbers of those applicants reporting on these
measures.

Applicants were asked to list the number of work experiences they reported in their ERAS applications. Chart 10 shows the
average number of work experiences by IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome. There is no clear
pattern across the specialties as to whether matched IMGs had more work experiences than their unmatched counterparts.
Across all specialties, non-U.S. IMGs averaged slightly more work experiences than U.S. IMGs (6.3 compared to 5.3). A
larger percentage of non-U.S. IMGs reported at least one work experience (92.0% compared to 88.6% for U.S. IMGs). Data
is unavailable for matched U.S. IMGs preferring Neurological Surgery due to the very low numbers of those applicants
reporting on these measures.

Chart 13 shows by preferred specialty, match status and IMG applicant type the percentage of IMGs who have a graduate
degree other than a Ph.D. The majority of specialties had a larger proportion of U.S. IMGs who did not match to their
preferred specialty report a graduate degree than did their matched counterparts. The same is true among non-U.S. IMGs.
