🌎Supporting International Medical Graduates: Educational Session

International Medical Graduates, (IMGs), often enter externship programs facing significant stress due to the challenges to adapting to e new health care system, navigating cultural differences, and meeting the high stakes expectations of their training during a brief assessment period.  

As program administrators, it is crucial for us to implement strategies that not only alleviate the stress but also create a safe, supportive environment, conducive to their success. By fostering supportive mentorship, providing tailored resources and encouraging open communication, we can ultimately empower IMGs to thrive within our provincial and Canadian health care systems; bringing with them much needed talent and resources.

Join us for an hour of collaboration as we share knowledge from across the country. Together we can make a difference in the externship process.
