There is a tremendous amount of mythology and legend bouncing around the internet “echo chambers” about how to prepare for the U.S. residency match, mostly because the vocabulary involved, the cultural nuances, and the complexities at every stage of the process. It can be confusing and overwhelming. In this article we will lead you through a no-nonsense, jargon-free introduction to planning for the U.S. residency match and building a competitive application. We will cover preparation components and key issues, how to prepare a timeline flow chart for yourself, and some information on each component. Subsequent articles will exam each component in more detail.

As you begin thinking about seeking a position in a US residency program, first and foremost you must remember that this process is essentially a job search. It is critical to incorporate key job search strategies with the strategies you will use for applying to a training program. You should also understand that there is considerable risk involved in this process. These risks include large expenditures of money, time and energy, and there is no guarantee that you will be successful. Also the differences in the US economy vs. developing countries can make it even more expensive.
