With so many elements involved in the process of matching into residency, it's difficult for an IMG to keep track of what to do and when. In this video, I provide a simple and thorough overview of all the requirements involved in this process.

This video covers various topics including the requirements to write the USMLE, Usmle Step 1, Usmle Step 2 CK, Usmle Step 2 CS, Usmle Step 3, Clerkships, Externships, SubInternships, Observerships, Research, Letters of Recommendation (LORs) and the NRMP Residency Match.

My name is Dr. Challa and I'm an IMG who just completed the match process and matched into internal medicine in the United States. If you have any questions, please leave a comment in the comments section below.
