Are you wondering how IMG-friendly (or unfriendly) obstetrics and gynecology is as a US medical specialty? Do you want to know your chances of matching in this highly competitive field? Would you love to figure out what obstetrics and gynecology programs an IMG would stand the best chance? This article will give you the most up-to-date information on IMG-friendly obstetrics and gynecology programs. Use this information to strategize on whether – and where – to apply to maximize your chances of matching as an IMG in obstetrics and gynecology.

Summary:

Obstetrics and gynecology is among the least IMG-friendly US medical specialties
However, many obstetrics and gynecology programs have at least some IMGs.
Some obstetrics and gynecology residency programs have a large number of IMGs, including Michigan (94% IMGs) and Lincoln (80% IMGs)
In addition, some programs favor US IMGs while others prefer non-US IMGs

What is an IMG Again?

Let’s start with some definitions.

IMG: International Medical Graduate

You attended a medical school outside of the United States and Canada

US- vs. Non-US IMGs

IMGs consist of two sub-groups:

US-IMGs: US Citizens or permanent residents who attended a “foreign” medical school. Example: someone born in the US but went to a Caribbean medical school (a non-US school).
Non-US IMGs: Non-US citizens or permanent residents who attended a “foreign” medical school. Example: someone born in South Korea, who does not have US citizenship or a green card, and who went to medical school in South Korea.

NRMP: “National Resident Matching Program®”

The organization that administers the “Match.” In the Match, the NRMP pairs residency applicants with a residency program.

Note that “International Medical Graduate” (IMG) refers to the medical school you attended. Thus, a foreign citizen who attends a US medical school is NOT an IMG. However, a US citizen attending a med school outside the US would be considered an IMG. (Technically, s/he would be a US IMG). For more on how IMGs can attain residency in the US, see The IMG’s Guide to Obtaining Residency in the United States (2022).

Obstetrics and Gynecology is Not IMG-Friendly

Looking at the percentage of spots filled by IMGs in the 2022 Match, we can see obstetrics and gynecology was not IMG-friendly. Only four specialties had a lower proportion of positions filled by IMGs.

Similarly, the match rate for IMGs in obstetrics and gynecology is among the lowest of all the specialties in the 2022 Match:

Here are the same data represented in a table:

The Most IMG-Friendly Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Programs

While obstetrics and gynecology as a field is not very IMG-friendly, that is not true of every obstetrics and gynecology residency program. For example, two obstetrics and gynecology residencies in the most recent GME census had IMG percentages of 80% or higher: Michigan (94%) and Lincoln (80%). In addition, 15% of all obstetrics and gynecology residencies had IMG rates of 10% or higher. Here is a list of the most (and least) IMG-friendly obstetrics and gynecology programs. It includes data from the most recent National GME Census Survey. Percentages are of all residents in the program in 2020.
