Since 1994, there has been a 13% decrease in US seniors matching into general surgery. This corresponded to proportional increases in the number of matched IMG's (both US citizens and non-US citizens). US IMG matches into first year postgraduate positions for all specialties (excluding general surgery) increased, whereas non-US IMG matches decreased by 15%. Stable match rates in general surgery are not because of US seniors but because of a rise in the number of international medical graduates. General surgery is accepting a larger proportion of non-US IMGs.
