The (IMG) International Medical Graduate Roadmap Program (SELF-PACED

As a physician myself, and after helping THOUSANDS of international graduates match with their dream US residencies, I’ve seen it all…

Maybe you’re overwhelmed by the super competitive US residency matching system
Maybe you didn’t get perfect scores in school, or are worried you have red flags on your application
Maybe you’re worried it’s been “too long” since you graduated
Maybe you’re scared your personal statement won’t be good enough, or feel intimidated by the interview process

If this sounds (a little too) familiar, then IMG Roadmap®️ is for YOU, my friend.

Whether you’re an American who graduated from an international medical school, or you’re a foreign graduate, I promise you, you can do this. Here’s how I know…

I myself am originally from Cameroon. I had a dream of practicing medicine in the United States, but I was initially rejected by the only medical school in my home country.

I learned the hard way that not all international med school programs are created equal. I had to pivot, then pivot again, until I stumbled upon a path into the United States medical school system. (A “plan” I do not recommend!)

I joke that I was “broke, busted, and disgusted” living in a 200-square-foot apartment in a rough part of Chicago. I started my application process without a plan or strategy, had tons of errors in my personal statement, and had no idea about how internships could influence my application.

Not only did I have many red flags that were easily avoided, but I was also dealing with the emotional and mental turmoil of being an immigrant in the United States.

Fast Forward: I was able to network effectively and got accepted into a residency program that appreciated my background. After becoming Chief Resident in my residency, I got an inside look into what makes a successful resident application…

I started to ask myself: What can I do to make this process easier on other people??

The IMG Roadmap®️ is the EXACT program I wish I’d had to guide me through the daunting process of applying and matching to US medical residencies (without going crazy or losing hope)!

“I wanted to share the good news, I matched into a categorical IM program in New York!...

The change you made where you spoke about the IMG mindset left a huge impact on me. I believe that’s what made the difference in my enthusiasm in attempting to reapply for residency.

I took your advice about publishing and was able to publish an abstract at the ASN last October and obtained a 1-month observership.

I believe what you taught us is invaluable. Thanks for everything!”

Here’s exactly what you’ll learn inside the IMG Roadmap®️:

The IMG Roadmap®️ course is broken into six, self-paced modules….

MINDSET: Owning your red flags, understanding your value, overcoming “imposter syndrome”, and moving forward with confidence!
REJECTION-PROOF NETWORKING: How to network in such a way that you attract mentors, sponsors, and colleagues who can help you get to where you want to go faster!
BUILD A STRATEGIC LIST OF PLACES TO APPLY: Don’t waste money applying to programs that are unlikely to accept you! Invest your application dollars with intention by creating a list of programs that fit YOU. In other words, make sure you’re barking up the right tree!
HOW TO WRITE A MAGNETIC PERSONAL STATEMENT: Learn to use your unique story to write a personal statement that gets program directors reading your essay from top to bottom! Plus, see examples of successful personal statements that landed IMG Roadmap®️ alumni in their dream residencies.
GATHER LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION: Learn to seek, find, and secure LOR’s that produce favorable results! Understand what to skip, who to pursue, and how to request an LOR in a way that psychologically influences the letter writer to support you. Included in the course: access to our LOR portal!
HOW TO PACKAGE YOURSELF AS THE PERFECT CANDIDATE! The most valuable module of all… Walk through how to fill out each form field of the application, step by step. First, get clear on how to best represent yourself, present your work competitively on ERAS, learn what experiences to include (or leave out!) on your application, and triage opportunities so you can do what matters most to you down the road.

In short: Learn to represent yourself as the physician you’ve been working hard to become so you can match with your dream US residency!

Email templates
Downloadable “Cheat Sheets”

“The IMG Roadmap is a comprehensive, thoughtful, and inspiring resource of information that is truly helpful for an international medical graduate.

I attended the course for two years in a row – the first year I attended it out of curiosity, but it was clear to me from the beginning that I would implement her advice at the time of application.

Dr. Nina Lum has incredible insight into the process and shares valuable advice while offering tremendous support and access to a growing community of success stories.”

-Lara Žekar

Matched Emergency Medicine

“Dr. Lum's course has so much valuable information. This is where to go first when you don't know where to look for the answer to your questions. The previous students' interviews are so helpful because you find out inside information you can't find anywhere else. On top of all this, Dr. Lum is so responsive when you have a specific question."

-Dr. Saba Ali

Matched Family Medicine in 2023

“I’m so very grateful to have found you and your course, it truly has been a game changer. This was my second round applying and I can honestly say that you have been a huge part of this success. Your tips are so practical and incredibly helpful and I think the interview prep session honestly put me in the best position possible to kill the real interviews–a most worthy investment! Despite the odds (not the best test scores, only a handful of interviews) I got to match at my top program and I’m truly grateful for the time and energy you put in to help me get there. I 10/10 recommend it to students even in their second and third years as a lot of the content i.e. how to approach getting LoRs on rotation, how to network, etc. would’ve been so useful had I had it earlier. Even finding you late in the game as an older grad was a major win though. Thank you thank you thank you!!!"

-Dr. Simone Gadpaille

Matched General Surgery (Prelim) in 2023

"I am thankful that I found Dr. Lum's course.

Not only did it offer concrete and objective tools to help me through the challenging years of medical school and the application process to residency, but it also gave me hope and inspiration that IMG's have worth and can be successful in the United States.

I recommend her course to every IMG I meet and mentor."
