Residency Preparedness

The U.S. residency match process is complex for anyone. For International Medical Graduates, it can feel like navigating a system that was never built for you — with limited guidance, conflicting information, and no guarantee that hard work alone will be enough.

This consulting was designed specifically for the IMG journey in all its forms. Wherever you are in the process, there is a path forward.

Disclaimer: This consulting covers application strategy, personal statement, CV, interview prep, networking, and research guidance. It does not include visa advising, clinical rotation or observership placement, or SOAP navigation.

Dr. Joyce B. Idehen

  • Board-certified family medicine physician

  • U.S. IMG

  • Matched at her first-choice program

  • 76 applications, 12 interviews

  • Founded this service to support IMGs who feel overlooked

“If you’re looking for someone who lived the struggle and still succeeded, someone who believes in you and will invest in your dream then you’re in the right place!”
— Dr. Idehen
