I matched into Internal Medicine 4 years ago as a non-US IMG. 📚 I still remember sitting alone after long study days, preparing for step exams, and wishing someone who had already been through the process would tell me the truth about the match, about their struggles and their journey. Not another textbook. Not another forum thread. Not another "anonymous comment". A real IMG. A real story. There now exists a blog dedicated entirely to the IMG Match journey, which invites members of this IMG community to share their experiences, lessons, and advice. Share an article, an anecdote, a timeline, or a memory 📝 🩺 Matched as an IMG last cycle? Tell your story. The setbacks. The uncertainty. The mistakes. The breakthroughs. Share the version you wish someone had told you when you started. You'll receive full credit, and your story may help countless future applicants. 📖 Still preparing for the Match? You don't have to wait until Match Day to contribute. Share a lesson you've learned, a resource that helped, or a mistake others can avoid. 🏥 Resident, Fellow, or Attending? One hour of your experience could save applicants months of confusion. Share practical advice, insights, or lessons learned during your journey. The IMG community is one of the most resilient, hardworking, and resourceful communities in medicine. Your stories could be someone's lessons. If you would like to contribute, send a DM 📲 Link for the blog in the pinned comment! #IMG #Match2027 #IMGStrong #ResidencyMatch #InternationalMedicalGraduate #USMLE #MedicalEducation
