I believe it is around 30%, I expect this to go down this year.

is there an official site that says that? I have looked around and all i found were percentage of cardiologist who are US IMG's or IMG's or AMGs. Do you feel that the trend will continue to go down from the estimated 30% from now on.. or is it something that fluctuates with time. thanks

The official data is here:

US IMG applying to cards is not specifically broken out, though. It looks like the IMG cards applicant match rate is about 35%.
