Post-match Preparation / Off Cycle Positions Part1/2

Copy pasted from https://imgresidencymatch.blogspot.com/2017/03/post-match-preparation.html

Every year thousands of candidates do not match. And a lot of them match on their second attempt so don’t lose hope. There is always room for improvement. Your next step should be to find the areas where you need to improve the most. I myself matched this year on the second attempt. First time I didn’t match with 12 interviews and the second time I had 42 invitations and I attended 39 of them. That puts me in a unique position I feel that I had I had a lot of experience and I will try to share everything here.
I am going to start with the post-match. It not over yet. There will be openings until September. I would advise applying to all the positions. From my post-match experience, I know three IMGs who got the post-match position. I also got one interview. Unfortunately, I wasn’t selected but at least that shows that programs consider IMGs including those who needs a visa. The key to finding a post-match position is to apply to all positions if possible all the specialties and apply as early as possible.
The first step is to gather all the documents. Contact all the LOR authors tell them you didn’t match and request them to email you the LOR. They will send it to you the LOR even if it was waived but it may take several weeks. Give them time, they have a lot of responsibilities, so email them today. You may also tell them that you are looking for a research position and you will appreciate if they know about such opportunity. If you had passed step 3 order USMLE transcript from NBME otherwise from ECFMG (ECFMG may take longer to send you the transcript). USMLE score report may work but some programs like to see the USMLE transcript so keep it ready. Write a brief one page CV, download all the relevant document including ERAS application, personal statement, scan ECFMG certificate, USMLE transcript, medical school diploma, MSPE, Deans letter, green card ( if applicable) and compile all the documents in one pdf file. I will also suggest writing a brief cover letter explaining your situation, why you didn’t match and what are you doing to improve your chances next year. Also, show your interest in that program. One of the questions every program will have in mind will be are you applying in their program out of desperation or do you have a genuine interest.
You can find list of available positions on my blog and I will share if I come to know of any other position
