[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not advise you. It is very hard to get residency for foreign educated (even you pass all the exams). She might look into like NYU or other schools that have low tuition for doctors. [/quote]

in 2023, 67% got matched:

This is probably the floor, since it doesn't include the match after the scramble (or the SOAP or whatever it's called now). Even more matches are made at that time.

OP, I would 100% let her do this. It's similar to the system in India, and in terms of the ability of the physicians, there are no differences between the ones that went to school here, and the ones that went elsewhere. On the odd chance that she doesn't match in her residency, she will have to work a year (cannot practice medicine, but can and should work in a clinical environment), pass her USMLE Step 3 during that year, and re-apply. Her odds of getting a match will go up simply because she passed Step 3.

Where I feel there is a significant drawback to being a foreign graduate, is when it comes which residencies you will match with. By and large, foreign graduates will not be competitive for the most sought after residencies (plastics, neuro, derm, etc.) so she would essentially have to be content with something like emergency medicine, internal medicine, family medicine, etc.[/quote]
