Someone has given you a bill of goods. Any US MD/DO graduate will get a residency position, but there are a few every year that only apply for Orthopedics or Ophthalmology and don't select a backup IM/FM program and thus wind up unmatched. There are IM/FM/PEDS/Internship positions open, but they choose to pass and reapply next year. The only reason they couldn't get any residency is bad advising or an issue which is expected to prevent them from getting a medical license.
