Exploring the cross-cultural effects of transitioning to practice as an immigrant International Medical Graduate in Canada

This research project examines the experiences of immigrant international medical graduates (I-IMGs) in their first five years of practice after Canadian postgraduate training. We will conduct interviews with potential participants. In these interviews, we will explore how their immigrant status and identities influences their transition at work and in social settings. Our goal is to use these insights to improve professional development programs and better support I-IMGs during this period.
