Coming to the Rescue: How International Medical Graduates Can Increase Access to Health Care
It is increasingly difficult for patients to access health care clinicians, especially in rural and underserved areas. Not enough clinicians are entering the workforce to replace those quitting or retiring while the US population is growing and aging. The average wait for a first-time doctor’s appointment is 26 days.

Several states are reforming their licensing laws to remove obstacles preventing IMGs from practicing medicine, but not without controversy.
