Course Description:
The 2018 Program Director’s workshop will focus on the International Medical Graduate (IMG) trainee. The first part of this workshop will provide an overview of current and future contributions of IMGs to the neurology workforce as well as discuss how to approach the selection process of IMGs and what PDs need to know about complying with immigration laws and visas. The second part of the workshop will focus on the IMG resident experience. A panel of internationally trained neurology trainees and faculty will share their experiences with preparing for US residency, orientation to the US healthcare system, discrimination in the workplace, and other relevant topics to PDs.
