Advancing U.S. Healthcare with IMGs
We’re bringing IMGs, healthcare organizations, and communities together to build a stronger future for U.S. healthcare.
IMG Pathways is a training, career development, and immigration support resource that brings IMGs, training programs, healthcare organizations, and communities together in common purpose to expand opportunity and improve access to care.
Our Mission
At IMG Pathways, we believe that every community deserves access to skilled, compassionate physicians — and that IMGs should have clear, supportive pathways to train and practice in the U.S. By collaborating with GME programs, healthcare organizations, and community partners, we’re creating opportunities for IMGs and strengthening care in the communities where it’s needed most.
Increasing the Nation’s Physician Capacity
The U.S. faces a growing shortage of physicians in both primary care and subspecialty roles. IMG Pathways helps address this need by supporting IMGs as they pursue training and practice opportunities and by helping institutions connect with the clinicians their patients depend on.
Streamlining a Complex Journey
From certification and exams to visas, matching, and practice, IMGs navigate an unusually complicated path. IMG Pathways helps simplify that journey with clearer steps, practical guidance, and support for both physicians and the organizations that work with them.
Supporting Healthier Communities
Communities rely on access to physicians for consistent, high-quality care. IMG Pathways strengthens that care by supporting IMGs as they move into training and practice and by helping institutions engage the global talent ready to serve their patients.

IMGs make up nearly a quarter of the U.S. physician workforce and play a vital role in expanding access to care. We support IMGs because they contribute essential skills, cultural insight, and clinical experience to communities across the country.
We collaborate with GME programs, healthcare organizations, employers, and community partners to support IMGs and the patients and communities they serve.
By helping IMGs navigate training, immigration, and practice opportunities, and by supporting institutions that rely on access to physicians, we strengthen workforce capacity, streamline complex processes, and help communities access the care they need.
Our mission goes beyond placement. We focus on long-term career development, community impact, and partnership across the healthcare ecosystem. We view IMGs as partners in strengthening care, not simply as candidates to be filled into roles.
We believe every community deserves access to quality healthcare, and every international physician deserves a clear, supportive pathway to contribute their skills in the U.S. This shared purpose shapes everything we do.
Wherever you are in your IMG journey, let us help you on your pathway to practice.
