What is IMG? (International Medical Graduates)

IMG stands for International Medical Graduates.  They are doctors or physicians who graduated from medical schools outside of the United States.  There are thousands IMG working and studying in the U.S. every year.  Most of IMS in U.S. are J-1 and H-1B visa holders.  Their program can last anywhere from 1 to 7 years.     For more information about IMG check of AMA’s website at http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/17.html .
