Overview:

Large numbers of International Medical Graduate (IMG) residents are entering Canadian postgraduate training programs. IMGs are a very diverse group of learners. Over the last few years two distinct groups of IMGs have emerged: Canadian IMGs (C-IMGs: Canadian citizens and permanent residents who have gone overseas for medical education) and immigrant IMGs (I-IMGs: immigrants to Canada with medical degrees from other countries). The broad goal of this session is to create a space for educators of IMGs to enhance their understanding around the changing landscape of IMGs and also to identify the challenges and opportunities faced by the IMG learners and faculty in this new context.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the session, the participant should be able to:

Describe the changing landscape of IMGs education
Identify the challenges and opportunities as perceived by faculty and IMG learners
Outline an approach to supporting IMG learners in academic settings
