In the 2024 Main Residency Match, data from the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) revealed the following match outcomes for International Medical Graduates (IMGs):
- U.S. Citizen IMGs: Out of 4,751 applicants who submitted certified rank order lists, 2,540 successfully matched, resulting in a match rate of 53.5%.
- Non-U.S. Citizen IMGs: Among 10,021 participants, 5,125 secured residency positions, yielding a match rate of 51.1%.
These figures reflect that slightly over half of both U.S. citizen and non-U.S. citizen IMGs matched into residency programs in 2024. In comparison, U.S. MD seniors had a significantly higher match rate of 93.5% during the same cycle.
