As a result, emergency medicine governing bodies have suggested reducing the requirement of standardized letters of evaluation (SLOE) and limiting the maximum number of away rotations [32].…”

“…The investigators acknowledge that recommendations informed by experience and expertise remain subject to inherent prejudice and bias. Finally, the authors understand that due to unforeseen circumstances of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic, these recommendations may temporarily not apply as many institutions are restricting visiting students and in-person interactions with faculty [11]. However, we are confident that as the situation resolves, and medical schools and hospitals re-equilibrate, these recommendations will once again apply.…”

International Medical Graduate (IMG) physicians applying to residency training programs in a country different from where they completed medical school, bring beneficial diversity to a training program, but also face significant challenges matching into an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited residency program. Despite the growing number of IMG applications in Emergency Medicine (EM), there is a paucity of targeted recommendations for IMG applicants. As a result, the Council of Residency Directors (CORD) Advising Students Committee in EM (ASC-EM) created a dedicated IMG Advising Team to create a set of evidence-based advising recommendations based on longitudinal data from the National Residency Match Program (NRMP) and information collected from EM program directors and clerkship directors. IMG applicants should obtain at least two EM standardized letters of evaluation (SLOEs), review IMG matched percentages for programs-of-interest, analyze their objective scores with the previous matched cohorts, and rank at least 12 programs to maximize their chances of matching into EM.
