UCLA International Medical Graduate Pathway to Family Medicine Board Certification and Underserved Practice
The UCLA IMG program was effective at preparing program graduates that were fluent in Spanish and bicultural to match in a California family medicine residency program and subsequently practice family medicine in underserved areas. Future studies will examine long-term practice outcomes, predictors of success, and participant perspectives on the program.
