Aren't 99% of unmatched, graduates of sketchy overseas medical schools?
- nradov 5y agoTypically about 5% of medical school graduates don't get matched, although some of those do get in later. https://www.ama-assn.org/residents-students/match/if-you-re-feeling-disappointed-match-day-you-are-not-alone https://www.ama-assn.org/residents-students/match/if-you-re-... As for overseas medical schools, the National Committee on Foreign Medical Education and Accreditation is supposed to ensure they meet the same standards as domestic schools. I haven't seen any real evidence that they're sketchy. https://sites.ed.gov/ncfmea/ https://sites.ed.gov/ncfmea/
