A Psychosocial Exploration of International Medical Graduate Journeys, Perceptions, Challenges and Resulting Impacts: A Sequential Explanatory Mixed Methods Study
IMGs describe numerous permutations of journeys, challenges and general experiences which result from factors both inside and outside the IMG's control. Challenges, particularly those which are unexpected, may detrimentally impact IMG careers, health and desire to remain in their host country. Institutions have a role in adapting current bureaucratic processes to better support the IMG experience.
