UCLA IMG Program
The UCLA International Medical Graduate (IMG) Program is a non-profit educational program for Hispanic International Medical Graduates who are residing in the US legally. Housed in the Dept of Family Medicine of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in Los Angeles, California the IMG Program was created to train immigrant physicians who could address the linguistic and cultural barriers to care faced by California's largely underserved Hispanic population.
The term international medical graduate, or IMG, is used to describe a physician who has graduated from a medical school outside of the U.S. or Canada. One in every four of the over 900,000 practicing physicians in the United States is an IMG. Generally, the medical school of graduation is one listed in the International Medical Education Directory (IMED) as accredited by the Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research or the World Health Organization. This has been the subject of many medical articles because many of these doctors come from developing countries, and as such, some consider this a "brain drain".〔Jordan J. Cohen MD. "The role and contributions of IMGs: A U.S. Perspective" ''Academic Medicine'', Vol 81, No 12/ December 2006 Supplement.〕〔Dr. Kimberly Hamilton. "The Global Tug-of-war for Health Care Workers" ''Migration Policy Institute'' December 1, 2004〕
== Objective ==
In California, Hispanics represent 37% of the states 37 million population yet only 5% of the physician workforce.〔AMA Physician Masterfile, 12/2011; California department of Finance〕 Further, almost 35% of California's Hispanics reside in medically underserved areas (MUAs) compared to 20% of the total population.〔California OSHPD, 2006 data.〕 To supplement the outreach and pipeline efforts by UCLA and the other California medical schools to train more Hispanic and English/Spanish bilingual physicians, the UCLA Department of Family Medicine (DFM) developed the IMG program to address the state's changing demographics and impending physician shortage.〔(Wall Street Journal: UCLA IMG Article )〕
The program seeks to provide bilingual English/Spanish IMGs, who are committed to the care of underserved populations, with a comprehensive program to pass the U.S. Medical Licensing Examinations (USMLE) and compete for Family Medicine Residency program positions in California. The paramount objective of the UCLA IMG Program is to place well-trained family physicians in rural and urban underserved communities.〔(American Medical Association news article )〕
