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 4.6x more likely here.

Worked out from the 10% of applicants who signalled and the 34% 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 49% of applicants but only 18% of interviews. A large share of IMG applications here do not convert into interviews.
