AMA says international medical graduates are essential to U.S. medicine
Original: IMGs are essential to U.S. medicine. Our policies must reflect that.
The American Medical Association is pressing for U.S. health policy to better reflect the essential role of international medical graduates. The group argues that foreign-trained doctors, who make up a significant share of the physician workforce, are indispensable to patient care, particularly in underserved areas, and that licensing and immigration policies should recognize that contribution rather than create obstacles.
Why now: Ongoing debate over physician shortages and immigration policy has put the role of foreign-trained doctors back in focus.
