Making a difference
Jess came out with such an incredible resource for international medical graduates all around the world who want to practice medicine in different countries. It’s a one-stop resource that provides up-to-date information accompanied by resources necessary for doctors who want to relocate. From visa questions to setting cultural expectations and even doctors on social media who document their own experiences, all of which serve as reliable sources of information for anyone struggling to decide where to practice medicine. I would recommend this to any and all IMGs who want to go on their own adventure in medicine!
