There was a bill for residency cap removal/position increase (about 3500 a
year). But the bill never came out from the committee simply because US
government has no money for this now.
Currently the total number of first-year residency spots is about 24,000.
The number registered for the 2010 Match was 37,556.

the reason of health care reform?

Yes, this gradually increased from 2002, and the number of AMG will be
sufficient to fill all residency position
by year of 2016 ior 2017.
So ECFMG will close.
possibly, just some AMGs will find residency position in future.

Do you know how many of the 37,556 are AMGs?

Thank you for the information regarding this sharp increase of AMG this year
. It is absolutely shocking to me.I have not realized this toughness of
situation in 2011 match.
What is the cause of this significant shooting up of AMG?
What can we do in this situation? Because there will be only roughly 4000
total positions for all FMG in all specialties.

ericusa (eric) 于 (Sun Sep 5 12:20:55 2010, 美东) 提到:
The official stand of AAMC is to produce enough physicians by US medical
schools. US medical schools and DO schools gradually increase enrollment,
and some new schools were opened or planned to open.
For CMGs:
1) Act fast - don't wait several years to complete USMLE exams;
2) Set a realistic goal - aiming for some good specialties but also have a
backup plan. IM is still the best bid for many;
3) Well prepared - try to improve your credential and build up connections;
4) Apply broadly and go to as many interviews as you can.

DOs can't apply IM or Path, right.
Or they can also apply for everything?

ericusa (eric) 于 (Sun Sep 5 12:31:53 2010, 美东) 提到:
They have their own match programs but the number of positions is not enough
. Some of them also take USMLE exams. 2,965 of them participated in NRMP
Match in 2010. Yes they can apply for any specialties, just like MD students.

During my OB, I have worked with some very exellent and aggrasive DO.s. The
resident I shadowed is also a DO. too.
I am scared by this thread. What can we do?Look for back up plan ACAP in
case not matched?

ericusa (eric) 于 (Sun Sep 5 15:15:09 2010, 美东) 提到:
My intention is not to scare anyone here, but give a realistic picture (some
people might not like this kind of posts). Last year we saw some CMG 99ers/
Ph.Ds failed to match, mainly because they didn't have a backup plan, or
applied not broad enough.
Wish everyone will have a good outcome this year.

.......scared to death.....
Hi,eric, may I ask a silly Q if you don't mind....
If the reality was that there were no more residential positions for us,
what could we possibly do with our step1/2/3/cs/ + ECFMG certificate?
Are there any other careers we may start with all the above credentials?
I'm just thinking about the "plan B" in another way......
Heard sth like that years ago......
Thanks and please ignore me if the question is way too stupid.....

Thanks Eric. These are very good information and discussions.
Although this may be harsh to hear, but I would rather hear it sooner than
later.
And I think I need to change my plan a little bit as well, try to pass the
test sooner...

That's right.Daisy, but just as a remind, do your best to get at least a
decent score e.g >90
80 sth is still too weak unless your collection is vely vely strong......

I was hoping to get 99s but now I think I'd be just content with 90s+.

ericusa (eric) 于 (Sun Sep 5 16:33:09 2010, 美东) 提到:
There will be some residency positions available for IMGs in the feasible
future. Unless a big increase on residency funding, the competition will be
increased gradually.
Myself never considered a plan B. The alternative career could be (some of
them require additional course work):
- Housewife/Househusband
- Research/Teaching
- Pharmaceutical Industry
- Pharmacy
- Dentistry
- PA
- Nurse
- Physical Therapy
- Federal Government
- Hospital Administrative Staff
- Medical Information System
- Medical Informatics
- Practice in China
what could we possibly do with our step1/2/3/cs/ + ECFMG certificate?

Before I applied my residency 9 years ago, someone told me that it was
getting more and more difficult and the door will close for FMG soon. I
matched to my residency like most people did. Nothing has change. Before I
applied for my green card, someone told me, you would not get green card,
try Canadian greencard.I had got my green card like most people did.
Nothing has change. So, trust me, nothing will change this year, next year,.
..even next 10 years. Don't get scarred.

不仅美国毕业生在增加,而且现在很多美国的医学院在给很多program施加压力让他们
少给FMG提供机会。上次跟某个纽约的医院的board members开会讨论给咱们CMG提供
observer机会的时候,他们的院长就提到他们受到很多医学院的压力尽量少给国际学生
提供轮转、实习机会,这也是为啥official的observer建立这么困难。竞争会加大,但
是短时间内还是有挺多机会,所以大家要加快努力!

总算看到一个说真话的贴子。我的感觉ECFMG不会关门,而会成为一个更商业化的机构
,以赢利为目的,这可以从它的宣传力度和普及面看出来,现在国内很多医学生都参与
step的考试就是一个例证,这也极大地增加考好分数的难度。而NRMP对IMG 的match则
会关上,不要被每年match统计40%IMG match 忽悠,加勒比海医学院毕业的现在大多
是native美国人,因个种原因上那读书,中南美州毕业的也很多是美国人,从小在美国
长大,因父母原因回国读书,

That's the reason I posted. You do not have to write and speak good English
to get matched and to be successful. You do not have to be scared because
you
are FMGs or old FMGs. I made partner in a private group and made over 500k
last year. So don't get discouraged by this kind of information. It is not
new. NOTHING HAS REALLY BEEN CHANGED. EVERYBODY WILL GET A SPOT IF YOU TRY
HARD ENOUGH. A successful FMG physician.
