What about IMGs with more than eight years of clinical practice (IM and critical care), you mentioned years after graduation would this experience count as a positive or it would be a negative point in terms of matching a residency or fellowship
The further you are from medical school graduation, the less competitive you are. US residency programs prefer newer graduates. Some residency programs use the number of years from graduation as a cut point to weed off applicants.
