Our International Medical Graduate (IMG) colleagues face different financial challenges

Author: Vu Kiet Tran June 23, 2025 Duration: 48:08
I have many colleagues who have done their medicine in other countries. They have struggled tremendously before succeeding here in Canada. Many of their struggles are not unlike the Canadian trained physicians. However, they face other additional challenges. In this episode, I am chatting with Samir, a good friend and colleague from Egypt. He recounts his own struggles and now shares his learnings with us.   If you would like to leave me with comments, please email me at hmfhd2020@gmail.com.
