Letters of Recommendation

Your Impact on IMG Careers

As a supervising physician, you have the opportunity to write letters of recommendation that significantly impact an IMG's residency application. Strong LoRs from U.S. physicians are among the most valuable assets for IMGs entering the match.

"The letter of recommendation I received from my supervising physician was instrumental in my match success. It spoke to my clinical skills, work ethic, and readiness for residency in a way that only direct observation could provide."
