This excerpt comes from the sample report. It uses a fictional applicant's answers; your findings depend on the information you provide and the physician's review.
Example reviewed finding
You reported 12 weeks of US clinical experience but no letter from a physician who supervised you.
Ask directly for a letter from the strongest supervisor you have worked with, and do it before the cycle closes.
Useful when you are assembling an application, checking outstanding work or planning another cycle. If you are still exploring the route, start with the free roadmap.
Your reported school listing, ECFMG Sponsor Note, Pathway and exam status. Pathways, NRMP requirements and each program's certification policy are assessed separately.
The status of the documents and exam results you describe, considered against the selected cycle's verified calendar.
Your reported clinical experience, supervision and letter arrangements, including outstanding requests and assignments.
The compatibility checks you have completed for visa sponsorship, graduation year, attempts and certification. The counts and policies are yours to verify.
Specialty choices, gaps, attempts and concerns you want considered together. There is no overall readiness score.
What you report has changed since a prior cycle and which questions need further attention.
It does not read your personal statement or CV. It does not read your letters or audit your actual program list. Recommendations are based on structured answers, not uploaded documents. Leave an unknown answer blank; it remains unassessed.
For feedback on a statement draft or a live conversation, see the separate physician services. The Diagnostic does not predict interviews or guarantee a Match outcome. Use AAMC Residency Explorer for official program research and interview-likelihood information.
Create a brief profile and complete the intake. Every diagnostic question is optional; answer what you can confirm.
The free Risk Check identifies and explains potential issues automatically. Choose the $49 Diagnostic if you want individual physician review and recommendations.
For the paid Diagnostic, I review and sign the report before release. Keep the PDF and follow the released recommendations in your free personal plan.
The reviewed report is returned within 48 hours of payment. Your answers and saved work are handled as described in the privacy notice. Optional product-learning participation is off by default.
Individual physician review, recommended actions and a PDF are available in the reviewed option.
One assessment of your structured answers. A live call and document review are separate services.
Prefer a conversation? The $49 Discovery Call is a live 30-minute planning conversation. It is separate from this written assessment; you do not need to buy both.
I am an international medical graduate and an internal medicine physician. For the reviewed Diagnostic, I read the findings in the context of your answers, correct and prioritize them, and release recommendations for you to act on.

Anything you already know is a problem
47 questions across 9 sections, and every one of them is optional. Anything you skip is reported as “not assessed” rather than guessed at.
The free Risk Check is automated and explains potential issues. It does not include individual physician review or recommended actions. The paid Diagnostic adds review, corrections, prioritization, recommendations and a downloadable PDF. The physician may change or add findings after reviewing your answers.
From payment. The reviewed report is due within 48 real hours, including weekends, from when payment clears.
Yes. Relevant findings depend on the cycle calendar, your submission status and what remains outstanding. The assessment does not promise that a change will affect a program's decision.
No. The Pathways application deadline, NRMP's examination requirements by the rank-list certification deadline and individual programs' earlier certification policies are different requirements. The Diagnostic keeps them separate. Verify your own situation against the official sources.
Missing information stays unassessed. A report based on incomplete answers has a narrower scope; it is not an all-clear for the areas you skipped.
That is a separate service. The Diagnostic checks the status and context you describe; it does not read the document. See Personal Statement Review & Feedback for its scope and price.
Contact us with the finding you want to discuss. A later assessment of updated answers is a new report, so the original remains available.
