Explanation:
The medical profession in the U.S. has a remarkable international flair. One in four U.S. physicians is an international medical graduate (IMG), and every year around 12,000 IMGs apply for U.S. residency positions. But the path to practicing in the U.S. is not an easy one when you must navigate the requirements without the structural support from a U.S. medical school and the mentorship of peers and faculty, especially with the added challenges of language and culture.
In the fall of 2018, NEJM Resident 360 hosted a discussion on applying for residency as an IMG. Participants asked questions that ranged from clarifying the practical steps required to be eligible to practice in the U.S. to seeking advice on experiences that can optimize the IMGs’ chances of obtaining their dream residency position. In this post, I summarize some of the main points from that discussion and provide an outline of the practical steps required to pursue this path. For even more information, you can access the library of resources available from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG).
