Did you know that in 2018, 33 IMGs applied into Urology and 8 of them matched?
This created a match rate of 24% for IMGs! You can find full stats on the American Urological Association website HERE.
Before you run off saying “Nah Dr. Lum, that's too slim of a chance” … Dr. Milhouse thinks this is good news for IMGs because Urology is generally a very small sub-specialized and closed off field, so in her books the stats are fair for the competitive IMG!
In this episode she share details on:

The Urology match (which is different from the usual NRMP match)

How to match urology (like she did)

Her perspective of IMGs in urology (she also dishes out that her co-resident was an IMG). 

As you know, once you start residency a majority of your preceptors and attending physicians will be US graduates. Thus, it is fitting that we entertain non-IMGs on the podcast for several reasons:

1. During the match process the US graduate or US student is our major competition (not in a bad way but in a statistical manner).
2. During our interview process we are more likely going to encounter program directors, faculty etc who were previous US graduates.
Let’s just call this IMG Roadmap Series # 27 with Dr Fenwa Milhouse.
