OUR MISSION

THE CHALLENGE

Every international medical graduate’s journey to become a physician is unique and their personal sacrifice and perseverance is commendable. Although aspiring physicians share the same end goal, they all don’t start their journey on equal footing. Most international medical students face geographic, socio-economic and educational inequities that make their journey that much more arduous. The consequence of these inequalities directly contributes to the global physician shortage and ultimately, the quality of care provided to patient populations worldwide. As the global community focuses on addressing a spectrum of social determinants of health at a governmental level, the opportunity to effect change in health outcomes begins by providing every medical student equal access to medical education resources and opportunities.  

Project IMG is on a mission to connect medical students, graduates and physicians to collectively advance equality in medical education, globally. As a collective of learners and educators, we provide an ecosystem that guides and equips students throughout their medical education journey. By combining free, curated medical education programs with a peer support structure, we enable every student an opportunity to advance their academic career.
