Is This For You?

This Is For You If:

You're an IMG (US or non-US) applying for residency in 2026 or beyond, and you:

Think you're "too old" or graduated "too long ago"

Need a plan to get interviews and don't know where to start

Worry your Step scores aren't competitive enough

Have gaps in your CV that you don't know how to explain

Don't have US letters of recommendation

Feel completely overwhelmed by the process

Applied before and got zero interviews

Don't know what steps to take or when

Need someone to tell you what actually matters (and what doesn't)

If you checked even half of those, keep reading.

The Cost of Waiting

The Cost of Doing Nothing

You keep spinning in circles. Applying blindly and getting fewer interviews than you deserve. Or none at all.

You stay stuck in quiet desperation while other IMGs — some with worse stats than you — match into programs you only dream about.

The anxiety doesn't go away. The financial insecurity doesn't go away.

The feeling that you wasted years of your life doesn't go away.

Or you can choose a different path.

What staying stuck really costs you:

  • Another year of delayed income and growing anxiety
  • $3,000+ wasted on applications to programs that won't interview you
  • Watching colleagues with worse stats match while you don't
  • The weight of explaining "another gap year" to everyone who asks
  • Missing the window when the right program still had spots

The Curriculum

What You'll Master Inside

Every piece of this program was built from inside the system — from someone who cracked it as an IMG and as Chief Resident.

01

The mindset shift that turns "unmatchable" IMGs into top candidates

02

What program directors actually look at when reviewing your entire application (hint: it's not just scores)

03

How to network without feeling sleazy, even if you're an introvert

04

The personal statement formula that makes programs remember your name

05

Real examples of IMGs with "red flags" who got 8+ interviews and matched

Success Stories

Real IMGs. Real Results.

These aren't cherry-picked outliers. These are the kinds of outcomes you can expect when you stop guessing and start following a proven system.

From Self-Doubt to Confidence
"Before I joined IMG Roadmap, I constantly second-guessed what I had to offer. Dr. Lum helped me recognize the value in my experiences — things I hadn't even thought to highlight suddenly became the strongest parts of my application."

Your Questions, Answered

But You Might Be Wondering…

Let's address the things that are making you hesitate.

Can't AI write my personal statement for free?

It can. And thousands of IMGs are doing exactly that right now. They're submitting applications that sound polished, professional, and completely identical to every other AI-written statement programs receive.

The problem is, program directors can spot AI writing. Not because it's bad, but because it's generic. It doesn't have your specific story. Your specific why.

I know this because I lived it. My journey from Cameroon to Kentucky with a 198 Step 1 wasn't in any AI training data. Neither was the specific strategy that got me matched. AI gives you words that sound right. I give you strategy that actually works.

How is IMG Roadmap® different from the cheaper programs?

I was you. Non-US IMG. Low scores. Late application. I matched because I figured out the system from the inside as Chief Resident. Most coaches never struggled like you. I did.

Live access. Not pre-recorded videos. Not a "community" where you hope someone answers. Me, live, every Sunday and Wednesday, for 7 weeks. Your questions. Your situation. Your roadmap.

Proven results. 1,000+ IMGs coached. Students with 228 Step 1 scores getting 11 interviews. Students 10 years post-graduation matching on their first try. Students who failed twice before finally succeeding with this system.

Why not just give this away for free?

I do give information away for free on my podcast, my Instagram. I've helped thousands of IMGs who never paid me a dollar.

But free information doesn't get you matched. Implementation does.

When you pay, you pay attention. You show up. I've seen many IMGs try to piece together free advice. Apply late, write generic statements and waste $3,000 on applications to programs that will never interview them.

The real question isn't why I charge. It's whether the transformation is worth the price. Juliana never called herself "Doctor" for two years until she worked with me. Damien was told he was "too old" at 10 years post-grad. He matched on his first try. What is that worth to you?

How will I stand out from thousands of other IMGs?

My students stand out by being impossible to ignore. They network with residents before applications open and target the right programs with the right message at the right time.

They position their "red flags" as strengths, not apologies.

One of my students had a 228 Step 1. Lower than average. She got 11 interviews because she learned to own her story instead of hiding behind her scores.

Standing out isn't about perfect stats. It's about having a clear strategy that makes programs see your value. This course gives you that strategy.

Who Is Dr. Nina Lum?

But More Importantly: I Was You.

I'm a board-certified Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine physician. Chief Resident. Author. Podcaster. IMG Career Coach.

Non-US IMG from Cameroon. Living in Kentucky. First in my family to become a US physician.

Step 1: 198. Step 2: 229. Applied in October with an incomplete application. Only 2 initial interview invites.

I felt defeated, anxious, disappointed, and broken.

Then I discovered what program directors actually look for. Not just scores. The entire application.

This Opens Once Per Year.

The IMG Roadmap® Live Program only runs once annually. When the live component closes, it's gone until next year.

After May 31st, the live coaching closes until next year. You'll still get the course materials — but you won't get me live for 7 weeks. You won't get the office hours. You won't get the cohort moving through it together.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm an old graduate. Will this work for me?

Yes. Dr. Damien matched 10 years post-grad. Kamille matched on her third cycle. Age is not the barrier you think it is.

What if my Step scores are really low?

I matched with a 198 on Step 1. One of my students got 11 interviews with a 228. Strategy beats stats when you know how to present your whole story.

What if I can't make every live session?

All sessions are recorded. You get lifetime access to the course materials.

What if I join and it's not for me?

5-day full refund after first session. No questions asked.
