Where this program sits

A raw percentage means little on its own. These are ranks against every Family Medicine program that reports the same measure.

Ranked against 358–396 programs depending on the measure, out of 407.

The odds, end to end

Everyone who applied, everyone who was invited, and the seats that exist.

About 227 applicants for every position. Interview invites are estimated from the reported interview rate.

This program against the Family Medicine average

The three measures where programs differ most for an IMG.

No national average is published for non-US IMG interview share, so that bar stands alone.

What signalling is worth here

Interview rate for applicants who signalled against those who did not.

Signalling makes an interview 1.9x more likely here.

Worked out from the 6% of applicants who signalled and the 11% of interviewees who had.

Who applies against who gets interviewed

When these two bars differ, that difference is the most useful thing on this page.

Non-US IMGs are 73% of applicants but only 44% of interviews. A large share of IMG applications here do not convert into interviews.
