Abstract

The article focuses on the barriers faced by international medical graduates (IMGs) in the U.S. accounting for one in four physicians, and discusses a new Tennessee law aimed at reducing these barriers. Topics include the mandatory residency program for IMGs, challenges in obtaining work visas, and the potential impact of the Tennessee law in expanding opportunities for IMGs to practice medicine.
