Navigating the Residency Match: What we learned from the 2024 MATCH Cycle
The journey to becoming a practicing physician in the United States is arduous and culminates in a pivotal moment known as the residency match. This complex process, crucial for medical students completing their education and transitioning into residency training, involves a series of steps designed to pair graduating medical students with residency programs across the country. International Medical Graduates (IMGs), including those from Caribbean medical schools, engage in this competitive process with the hope of securing a position that will lead to full licensure and the ability to practice medicine independently.
