Foreign Medical Graduates (FMGs) are individuals who have completed their medical education outside of the country where they intend to practice medicine. They often seek to obtain a medical license in a new country, which typically requires passing specific examinations and meeting various regulatory requirements.
FMGs play a crucial role in healthcare systems, especially in areas facing physician shortages. They bring diverse perspectives and experiences, contributing to the overall quality of patient care. Many FMGs pursue residency programs to gain further training and experience in their chosen specialties before becoming licensed practitioners in their new country.
