At IMGPrep, we collaborate with the top 5% of medical applicants, ensuring that our program attracts the highest caliber of future medical professionals. We are constantly recruiting distinguished teaching faculty with extensive experience in precepting final-year medical students and residents. Our network includes top-tier doctors who are passionate about preceptorship and committed to excellence in medical education. We offer competitive stipends to acknowledge the valuable time and expertise of our preceptors.
Program Overview
Our preceptorship program is dedicated to enhancing communication and learning opportunities between U.S. physicians and international medical graduates (IMGs). This precepting mirrors the structure of a fourth-year medical student rotation, providing a comprehensive and immersive clinical experience.
During the preceptorship, IMGs will be assigned to an attending physician and actively participate in clinical rotations. They will engage in tasks such as:
- Taking patient histories
- Conducting initial diagnoses
- Participating in discussions regarding all aspects of patient care with their attending physician
The ultimate goal is to foster strong professional relationships between IMGs and their preceptors.
Applicant Credentials
Our applicants have completed their medical education at institutions listed in the International Medical Education Directory (IMED) and hold accreditation from the World Health Organization (WHO). They have also achieved high pass rates on the TOEFL English language proficiency examinations. Most applicants have passed at least one step of the US Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) and intend to apply for a PGY-1 position in the same academic year. All candidates will carry $1-3 million in liability insurance, the same as their U.S. counterparts.
Preceptor Involvement
All preceptors will have full access to the applicants’ documents and a detailed overview of their qualitative and quantitative backgrounds. Rotations are generally structured in four-week blocks.
Benefits for IMGs
For IMGs, this preceptorship experience is crucial and invaluable. It aims to:
- Enhance career development
- Secure positive letters of recommendation
- Strengthen applications to U.S. residency programs
Acknowledgment of Preceptors
To recognize the time and dedication of our attending physicians in their preceptorship roles, we provide a monetary stipend. This ensures that our preceptors feel valued and supported in their commitment to guiding the next generation of medical professionals.
