Are you wondering how IMG-friendly (or unfriendly) Emergency Medicine 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 Emergency Medicine programs an IMG would stand the best chance? This article will give you the most up-to-date information on IMG-friendly Emergency Medicine programs. Use this information to strategize on whether – and where – to apply to maximize your chances of matching as an IMG in Emergency Medicine.

Summary:

Emergency Medicine is an IMG-friendly US medical specialty.
Even though Emergency Medicine has the highest IMG match rate, the % spots filled by IMGs is low.
Most emergency medicine programs have a large proportion of IMGs, for example, One Brooklyn (89%), Wyckoff Heights (83%), and Mercy Health-St Rita’s (83%).
In addition, most 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).

Emergency Medicine is an IMG-Friendly Specialty Program

Looking at the % of spots filled by IMGs in the 2022 Match, we can see Emergency Medicine had a low % spots filled by IMGs (7%):

But despite having a low % of spots filled by IMGs, the match rate for IMGs in Emergency Medicine is the highest of all the specialties in the 2022 Match:
