International medical graduates (IMGs) by definition move from the country in which they received their training to another country in order to train and settle down in. The reasons for migration by IMGs can be political, educational or economic. Each reason brings with it a series of difficulties, both for the individual and for the society to which they move (as well as to the society they leave behind). Acculturation and settling down will raise specific issues in the functioning of the IMGs and to their response to the new country. Certain factorsmaycause stress and othersmaycontribute to the successful adjustment by the IMGs. Suggestions on how to support international medical graduates and how to help reduce their stress will be highlighted.
