The Challenge Faced by The International Medical Graduates in Acquiring the United States Clinical Residency
Journal Title: The Journal of Middle East and North Africa Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
We are writing this letter to bring your kind attention to a serious issue faced by the International Medical Graduates (IMGs) who travel to the United States with aspirations of pursuing higher academic credentials and dreams of becoming successful physicians. Thousands of medical graduates come to the United States with the goal of practicing medicine in the US as a physician (Adebonojo et al., 2003). A great majority of the IMGs coming to the US belongs to India, Pakistan, Egypt, Philippines and other South Asian and Middle Eastern countries. Regardless of their geographic dissimilarities, what is common amongst them is most of those students face difficulties in speaking and writing English language (Idrees & Tohid, 2016; Adebonojo et al., 2003).
