Residency Application

International medical graduates (IMGs) are graduates of medical schools located outside the United States (U.S.) and Canada. IMGs face various challenges on the road to U.S. residency training. These challenges include sitting for the United States Medical Licensing Examinations (USMLEs) to obtain certification from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). After that, IMGs are faced with a foreign application process whereby they must apply for and secure a position in a residency program through the Electronic Residency Application System (ERAS) and the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). Once accepted into a residency program, IMGs who are not US citizens or legal permanent residents are challenged with securing a visa to be able to practice in the U.S. In this article, we elaborate on these processes and highlight the challenges IMGs may face along the way.

Formal Basis

Abstract Adolescent medicine achieved accreditation status first in the United States in 1994 and then in Canada in 2008 and even if it is not an accredited subspecialty in most other Western nations, it has still become firmly established as a distinct discipline. This has not necessarily been the case in some developing countries, where even the recognition of adolescence as a unique stage of human development is not always acknowledged. The program at SickKids in Toronto has prided itself in treating its international medical graduates (IMG) clinical fellows the same as their Canadian subspecialty residents by integrating them seamlessly into the training program. Although this approach has been laudable to a great extent, it may have fallen short in formally acknowledging and addressing the challenges that the IMG trainees have had to overcome. Moving forward, faculty must be trained and supports instituted that are geared specifically towards these challenges. This must be done on a formal basis to ensure both the success of the trainees as well as the overall enrichment of the fellowship training programs.

First Time

The rise of female physicians has provided care to the growing and evolving United States population. According to the 2014 FSMB Census of Licensed Physicians, 32% of actively licensed physicians are female. Less attention, however, has been given to the location of medical school graduation and its association with the growing population of female physicians. This study examines physicians who were issued their first license in the United States by gender and by where they graduated from medical school. Using data from the Federation of State Medical Boards' (FSMB) Physician Data Center, the authors measured the percentage of first-time licenses issued between 1990 and 2014 to females and by where they graduated from medical school — that is, either a United States medical graduate (USMG) or an international medical graduate (IMG). Key findings indicate that between 1990 and 2014, first-time licenses issued to IMG females have increased from 25% to 45% (31% to 47% for USMG females). Furthermore, the percentage of first-time licenses issued to female IMGs increased among international regions with the highest number of licensed physicians in the U.S. The findings support that a greater percentage of first-time licenses issued to IMGs have been to females over the past two and half decades. Analyzing the trend of first-time licenses issued to physicians by gender and location of medical school graduation adds to better understanding the physician pipeline and physicians' transition from medical school to the practicing medical community in the United States.
