A clearer path to your US residency Match.
MatchIQmd guides international medical graduates through every stage of the Match – from building your program list to walking off Match Day with a plan, not just a hope.
Built around the process you already know: NRMP·ERAS·ECFMG·USMLE·FREIDA
Built for IMG applicants navigating a high-stakes, high-anxiety process.
Whether you’re preparing your first ERAS application or regrouping after a tough cycle, the Match rewards applicants who apply strategically – not just broadly. We work with a limited number of clients at a time so every program list, every prep packet, and every deadline gets real attention.
- First-time applicants building an ERAS strategy from scratch
- Repeat applicants who need a sharper, more realistic program list
- Candidates preparing for interview season and Rank Order List decisions
- Unmatched applicants who need a SOAP contingency plan in place
From intake to Match Day, in four stages.
Intake & profile review
We build a structured record of your scores, experience, documents, and visa needs – the foundation for everything that follows.
MatchIQ Engine program list
A visa-verified, tiered program list – Best Fit, Strong Fit, and Consider – plus your Candidate Viability Index, reviewed by your advisor before it reaches you.
Applications & interview prep
Signal strategy, interview tracking, and committee-side prep so you walk into every interview ready.
Match Day & beyond
Rank Order List guidance, and a contingency plan in place well before Match week – so nothing is left to chance.
Not advice based solely on personal experience. Not just an algorithm. It’s the perspective of someone who has helped make residency selection decisions.
Built by someone who has sat on a resident selection committee.
Every program list and every application read at MatchIQmd is shaped by firsthand experience on the committee side of the table – reading and scoring real applications, deciding who moves up a rank list and why. That perspective is our strongest differentiator: it’s not a former resident’s guess, and it’s not an algorithm’s output alone.
Meet your advisor →The MatchIQ Engine
Our proprietary methodology evaluates your full profile against program fit – producing a tiered, defensible program list instead of a generic name-dropped list.
Human-reviewed, always
Every recommendation is reviewed by your advisor before it reaches you. You get the benefit of data-driven analysis, with a person accountable for it.
One advisor, one relationship
You work with a dedicated advisor who knows your record – not a rotating cast, and not a black box.
The details that decide whether a program is worth your time.
Visa sponsorship verification
Every program on your list is checked for actual J-1, H-1B, or F-1 sponsorship – not assumed. This is the crux of a workable IMG program list.
Program signal strategy
A tiered Gold / Silver signal plan, sized to the correct per-specialty count, so your limited signals go where they’ll actually move the needle.
Candidate Viability Index (CVI)
An honest, numeric read on where you stand – so your list is built on realistic positioning, not wishful thinking.
Alumni & feeder-school matching
We flag programs with a track record of taking graduates from your school or region – a real, underused signal of receptivity.
Regional & geographic targeting
Your list is shaped around where you actually want to live and train, not just which programs are well known.
Committee-side interview prep
Prep and application reads informed by having sat where the decisions get made – what actually reads well to a committee, and what doesn’t.
