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.

Interview rate 4.5% better than 3% of programs
Non-US IMG interview share 73.0% better than 100% of programs
Resident non-US IMG share 75.0% better than 96% of programs
Applicants per position 270.8 better than 10% of programs

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 271 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 5.3x more likely here.

Worked out from the 12% of applicants who signalled and the 42% 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 72% of applicants and 73% of interviews, so IMGs are interviewed roughly in proportion to how many apply.

Notes on this program

Strongly IMG-favouring: Non-US IMGs are 72% of applicants but 73% of interview invitations — one of the very few programs where the IMG interview share exceeds the IMG applicant share. 75% of residents are Non-US IMGs.
