Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of international medical graduates come to the United States to start their career as physicians. Many of them, however, are not aware of the challenges and problems that they may encounter along the way. These difficulties can range from the language and cultural barriers to a lack of confidence and self-esteem. Many students are also unaware of the other career options besides getting into a clinical residency program. As a result of these issues, a great number of foreign medical students remain unmatched into the National Resident Matching Program. Not matching can be devastating for these graduates, both financially and medically. Students often suffer from psychological effects like major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. This book outlines the potential problems faced by these graduates and their possible solutions. Each chapter collects research evidence, interviews and surveys to gather information to work on each possible problem one by one and describes a solution in great detail. Comprised of thirty chapters, each chapter is broken down into smaller sub-sections to investigate the main theme in depth. Issues addressed include the different types of international medical graduates and their lives in the United States, differences in the education system and healthcare system, the triangle of residency, language and cultural barriers, lack of professional contacts, confidence, self-image and self-esteem issues, and restriction to specific fields and career paths. Written by experts in the field, International Medical Graduates in the United States is a first of its kind text that addresses the biggest issues faced by foreign medical graduates in today's world.

Book excerpt: Despite efforts to alleviate the current physician shortage, there remains a gap that is not being filled by US medical school graduates especially in under-served and rural areas. One of the solutions to this problem is to use Foreign International Medical Graduates (FIMGs) to fill residency training positions; however, the certification process for these FIMGs is lengthy and often challenging. This qualitative study sought to identify perceptions of the certification process by FIMGs and factors that they feel influence the successful completion of the U.S. certification process. Conceptually, this study was framed within critical theory as well as andragogy. The main research question was: What are the perceptions of FMIGs regarding the factors that influence or impede the ECFMG certification process? Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with six participants. Three participants were FIMGs who are currently U.S. certified practicing physicians, and three participants were FIMGs who are not currently U.S. certified practicing physicians. These interviews provided opportunities for detailed accounts of physicians’ various experiences which served as the basis for all analysis. Carspecken’s methodology was chosen based on its emphasis on systems and cultures through dialogical data collection. The results of these analyses indicated that all six FIMGs in the study perceive the certification process to be stressful due mainly to their status as immigrants and a general lack of support. Furthermore, an important contributing factor to successful certification was internal and external motivations. External motivation came from their families and communities and inner motivation came from a deep desire not to fail. This study may contribute to the field of health sciences education in that it provides insight into the unique experiences of a group of FIMGs, and what educators and leaders in the field can learn about them as adult learners.
Download or read book International Medical Graduate and the United States Medical Residency Application written by Raghav Govindarajan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique, socially conscience reference provides valuable guidance to international medical graduates (IMG’s) looking to complete a residency in the United States. The medical residency application process in the United States is competitive and complex. Additionally, many IMG’s go through training programs that sharply differ from the medical school training and the sociocultural elements of United States medicine and residency are unlike any other country. Organized into three parts, this book meets the need for a pragmatic, evidence based guide that answers important questions, and imparts indispensable advice to IMGs. Part I directly tackles the concerns IMG’s have regarding specific elements of residency applications, including the importance of a master’s degree and how to get a strong letter of recommendation. Part II then addresses how to prepare for interviews, preliminary programs and travel. Finally, the book answers the common “what ifs” and “what’s next” questions many IMG’s ponder. International Medical Graduate and the United States Medical Residency Application: A Guide to Achieving Success is a first-of-its-kind resource that presents a holistic view of residency application peppered with real life examples, easy to grasp tables and flow charts and key do’s and don’ts to drive home the complex process involved in residency application.

Economic models are presented in detail, complemented by real-life explanations and analysis, and discussions of the influence of such theories on policymaking.

Health Economics provides: - A broad scope, featuring comparative health policy and empirical examples from around the world to help students relate the principles of health economics to everyday life - Coverage of topical issues such as the obesity epidemic, economic epidemiology, socioeconomic health disparities, and behavioural economics - A rich learning resource, complete with hundreds of exercises to help solidify and extend understanding.

Book excerpt: The focus of this book is on the experiences of government-sponsored refugees in the early stages of integrating into Canadian society. Combining data gleaned from a longitudinal study of relatively recently arrived refugees in Calgary, Canada, with a close focus on the case of a physician from Colombia and his family, this volume illustrates how the cultural and social capital of refugees is marginalized and, in some cases, erased by the undervaluing of their education, training, credentials, and other knowledge. The findings presented in the book underscore the importance of addressing the challenge of integrating highly trained professionals into the professions for which they are credentialed.
