Many thousands of international graduate physicians from diverse medical specialties serve the
health care needs of the United States and one-in-four psychiatry residents are international
medical graduates. International Medical Graduate Physicians: A Guide to Training was created
by prominent leaders in academic psychiatry to support the success of these international
medical graduate physicians as they complete their clinical training and enter the physician
workforce in this country. This insightful title has been developed as a valuable resource
filled with key information and personal narratives to foster optimal wellbeing and
decisionmaking of IMG physicians as they navigate their careers. The text is thorough in scope
and replete with perspectives reflections and tailored guidance for the reader. Many of the
chapters are based on the direct and diverse life experiences of the authors. A unique and
thoughtful contribution to the literature this Guide will be of great value to international
physicians and to their teachers and supervisors in psychiatry as well as other specialties of
medicine.
