How International Doctors Can Practice Medicine in United States Within 3 to 6 Months

by Dr. BENSON MICHAEL SERGILES

Overview

Internationally trained medical professionals, often known as international medical graduates (IMGs), are a part of the immigrant community that possesses a high level of expertise but faces challenges in finding employment. They are individuals who have graduated from medical schools situated in countries other than the one in which they aspire to practice medicine professionally. IMGs may also be referred to Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs), Overseas Trained Graduates (OTGs), Internationally Trained Physicians (ITPs), or Internationally Educated Physicians (IEPs). The most logical decision for these highly competent individuals is to pursue a career as a practicing physician. However, a survey from the United States estimates that only around 6% of them are successful in obtaining a medical license. It is key to note that these IMGS play an essential role in the healthcare systems of the United States and Canada. The issue arises when they face a plethora of challenges when trying to integrate professionally as both practicing physicians and as non-physicians in a variety of alternative careers that are appropriate for their knowledge and talents. There are some inherent obstacles that are shared by both routes, such as a lack of financial resources, an absence of relevant local job experience, and challenges in both communication and language. These challenges could be overcome but the problem is that IMGs do not have enough knowledge to tackle these issues. It then becomes a failure on both their part and the part of employers to recognize the transferable skills they possess, and a lack of professional guidance, support, and bridging programs. This book is the number one bestselling practical guide that will teach a bridge program that allows International Medical graduate to Practice Medicine in United States within 3 to 6 months.
