IS to have residency after passing all USMLE steps is too dificult for foriegner what is the percentage to have chance within one year from registeration in the ERAS program
No one can tell you exactly what chance you will have in gaining a residency.
It looks like you are interested in pediatrics.
Last year out of the 2,269 first year postions in pediatrics offered through the
NRMP match, 74% were filled by US gradautes. This means that at least another 23% were filled by independent applicants (including foreign medical graduates who were not US citizens).
FREIDA even reports a higher percentage of IMGs (including both foreigners and US citizens who studied abroad) of 31.9%.
However, in order to be a competitive applicant, one needs:
- Good USMLE scores
- Letters of Recommendation
These may gain an applicant interviews at residency programs. Solid performances on interviews may either yield a job offer outside the match or the possiblity of "matching" to the program.
[Each year about 6,000 IMGs (including US citizens and non-US citizens) enter graduate medical education in the U.S.]
