Here, we summarize the potential consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the process of medical residency applications for current IMGs and international medical students (IMSs) and recommend measures that can be taken to minimize the disruption to their participation in US healthcare. Given the unavoidable human-to-human contact that takes place during the exam, the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) program has closed all of its five test centers as of March 16, 2020, and plans to reopen them on June 1 at the earliest [7] . Due to safety concerns arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, many medical schools in the United States have cancelled clinical rotations and stopped receiving visiting students.	./cache/cord-290620-dvlnx2z3.txt	./txt/cord-290620-dvlnx2z3.txt
