MedMatchPlus+ Launches New Residency Application Supplemental Tool for Medical Students
NEW ORLEANS, La. (PRWEB) July 21, 2017 -- MedMatchPlus+ has launched a residency application supplemental tool to allow 4th-year medical students improve their chances of acceptance to a residency in a United States hospital. Being accepted into a residency is challenging, particularly for those who have earned degrees outside the U.S.
According to data released by the ECFMG®, every year, 50 percent of international medical graduates do not match. The MedMatchPlus+ online platform is designed to personalize the applicant and set him or her apart.
"Our goal for each medical school student is to put a face and voice to his or her application," said Dr. Shaminder Gupta, co-founder of MedMatchPlus+. "We want to help you stand apart and fulfill your dreams to become a great doctor in the U.S."
Each year, residency applications flood hospital coordinators throughout the nation. The MedMatchPlus+ platform, which is a supplement to the traditional ERAS® application, allows the applicant to showcase themselves through a video profile which allows programs to see the real person behind the application.
Through MedMatchPlus+, applicants can create a profile and upload videos, photos and personal narratives to stand out in the matching process. They can send their profile to any residency program in the county, and MedMatchPlus+ will connect them to the program of their choice. Applicants also receive access to a library of candidate resources with examples from doctors and residency coordinators on the best ways to improve your application.
The MedMatchPlus+ team uses a designated network of residency programs to help navigate the matching process.

MedMatchPlus+ is a residency application supplement tool that can help residency candidates stand out from the crowd and improve their chances of matching to a residency program that is the right fit for them. The MedMatchPlus+ supplemental profile is submitted in addition to the traditional ERAS® application, using video, pictures, and a personal narrative to separate a residency applicant candidate from thousands of others. MedMatchPlus+ increases a candidate's visibility and improves their chances of being contacted for an interview or possibly being matched with a residency program.
