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).
Pathology is IMG-Friendly
Considering the percentage of spots filled by IMGs in the 2022 Match, we can see pathology was IMG-friendly. Pathology had the highest proportion of positions filled by IMGs compared to all other specialties.
Similarly, the match rate for IMGs in pathology is among the highest of all the specialties in the 2022 Match:
Here are the same data represented in a table:

The Most IMG-Friendly Pathology Residency Programs
Likewise, several pathology residency programs are IMG-friendly. For example, 2 pathology residencies in the most recent GME census had IMG percentages of between 90-99% and 4 had an IMG percentage between 80-89%. In addition, 19% of all pathology residency programs fill the majority of their positions with IMGs.
Here is a list of the most (and least) IMG-friendly pathology programs. It includes data from the most recent National GME Census Survey. Percentages are of all residents in the program in 2020.
