is USMLE still worth pursuing in 2025 for Non-US IMG? This is a very common and important question to ask, because pursuing usmle and becoming doctor in US requires you to invest a lot of money, time, and effort. Probably the worst thing about pursuing USMLE is the uncertainties. You may not be able to match even after you complete all the requirements, which put you in a limbo.

In addition, I would like to explain why 2025 is the best time to purse USMLE!
