U.S. MDs welcome International Medical Graduates (IMGs)

When the ink was dry on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA, or TLC in Spanish), a list of 30 or so professionals could receive work visas to travel relatively freely among the U.S., Canada and Mexico. This list included a range of health professionals, including physical and occupational therapists, nutritionists, and registered nurses. Physicians were conspicuously limited to only teaching or research...no practicing.

I've always assumed that U.S. physicians…

Thanks for your comment. Our program was created to help professionals such as yourself develop both personally and as clinicians, so I am happy to hear your comment. Your skills both as a bilingual nurse are needed in the U.S., and we have experience successfully supporting Columbian nurses in this process.

We do require a minimum of two years hospital experience to enter our program, as well as various other requirements. Please email our nursing expert, Mstra. Evangelina Cardona, who is located in our Mexico City office, via her email evangelina.cardona@instituteofcalifornia.org.
