Challenges faced and coping strategies used by Malaysian International Medical Graduates surviving internships: A Qualitative Study
This study provides valuable insights into the challenges and coping strategies of MIMGs during their internships in Malaysia. The results suggest that targeted interventions and systemic changes are necessary to support MIMGs effectively and enhance their training experience. Future research should explore these issues further, with larger samples and in different contexts, to develop comprehensive strategies for improving medical internships globally.
