ECFMG(r) is pleased to announce a new resource for international medical
graduates (IMGs) entering graduate medical education (GME) in the United
States. The IMG Advisors Network (IAN) will allow IMGs who are applying
to ECFMG for J-1 Exchange Visitor visa sponsorship to communicate
directly with IMGs who have successfully entered or completed U.S. GME
training. The purpose of this network is to connect IMGs entering U.S.
GME with advisors who may be able answer many of their questions about
living and working in the United States.

Qualified IMGs volunteering to serve as advisors will be listed in an
on-line IAN database by name, medical specialty, U.S. GME program,
location in the United States, country of origin, medical school, and
other demographics. Qualifying IMGs who are seeking advice will access
the IAN database via the ECFMG website and search for individuals who
would be most likely to be helpful in providing information and advice
about relocating to the United States, and related practical advice. The
ideal advisor might be one in the same U.S. program that the new IMG
will enter, or an individual from the same country or medical school.
However, even less specific matches could be of great help. The e-mail
address of the IMG seeking advice will be provided to the advisor who
can then begin communicating directly with the advisee.

The first phase of implementation of this new resource is active
recruitment of qualified advisors in order to build a database of IMGs
in or having completed GME training in the United States. If you are
such a physician and would like to learn more about serving as an
advisor, visit the IMG Advisors Network home page at
