In affiliation with USMLE Sarthi

USMLEsarthi is Arizona based with physician panelists all over the US. We guide residency applicants from over 32 countries. We conceived USMLESarthi with a simple dream – To guide Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) – aka International Medical Graduates (IMGs) and Caribbean applicants – in their quest for matching into their desired Residency program in the US and to help fulfill their professional aspirations. While IMGs make up 25% of the physician workforce in the United States, they face significant hurdles in the entire process of starting to prepare for the Match to the actual period of Residency and Fellowship training. Some of the unique challenges for IMGs are:

• Academic (Issues around exam preparation, finding right clerkships, interview preparation)
• Linguistic and cultural (interacting with patients, other physicians and stakeholders in the US Medical System)
• Immigration and visa related issues while applying for Residency or Fellowship

Our ‘Sarthis’ or Mentors- are a team of IMGs, AMGs, former Program Coordinators, MBAs and US Journalists. They are committed to leveraging their success and experience to coach IMGs and help them with the Residency Match.

Our highly impactful and value-added mentorship assists IMGs and enables them to reach their full potential. Our services:

• Help them prepare strategically for a successful career in the U.S. health care system, starting with the Residency Match
• Prepare them to overcome professional challenges faced throughout their careers in the US such as adapting to a new culture of medicine, meeting and exceeding the expectations of patients, colleagues, and supervisors and learning appropriate behavior and practices in the workplace
• Equip them with skills and tools to bridge the differences in resources, technology, and epidemiology typically encountered in the US and home country.
