Two passionate souls,
one mission
We arrived in the USA with no connections, no roadmap, and no one to call. Just an unshakeable dream and the quiet, stubborn determination to see it through, no matter the cost. And the cost was real. Financially, emotionally, professionally — this process demands everything from you.
We know, because we lived it. We made mistakes. We carried the weight alone. We figured it out the hard way. And we finally matched.
Dear IMG exists because no physician should have to navigate this journey in isolation or go broke trying. We want to be the voice we never had — steady when you're spiraling, honest when you need clarity, and relentlessly in your corner when the doubt gets loud.
We are here together to make this process more affordable, more guided, and far less isolating. We bring the lived experience, the clinical credibility, and the hustle to keep this mission alive. Every step of the way. Until you match. Matching is not impossible. It simply demands the right knowledge, the right support, and someone who genuinely believes in you.
— We found the way through. We're leaving the door open behind us.
