Residency Explorer
Learners seek guidance on determining which residency programs align with their professional and personal goals, while residency programs seek candidates whose objectives and competencies reflect their individual program’s values and mission. In an effort to meet these needs, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) developed the Residency Explorer (RE) tool.
The Residency Explorer tool uses source-verified data from multiple organizations involved in the undergraduate to graduate medical education transition space. The platform provides greater program transparency to Internal Medicine (IM) students, offering tremendous benefits to a large population of IM learners, including International Medical Students (IMS), International Medical Graduates (IMGs), and osteopathic physicians, and USA MD seniors. Through this tool, AAIM, the AAIM Residency Application Process Work Group, and AAMC hope to ameliorate a component of application surplus.
