The summit, a 15th anniversary celebration for the AMA International Medical Graduates (IMG) Section, will recognize the history of IMGs in American medicine and examine their future in light of physician workforce reforms, federal budget cuts and reductions to graduate medical education financing.

Participate in this year's AMA Research Symposium
International medical graduates certified by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates and awaiting residency have a unique opportunity to showcase their original research during this year's AMA Research Symposium.
The symposium, which will take place Nov. 9 in Honolulu as part of the Interim Meeting of the AMA House of Delegates, annually attracts some of the brightest young minds in medicine. In sharing their research, symposium participants can enhance their presentation skills, earn recognition from their peers and build their curriculum vitae.
In addition, physicians are needed to serve as judges during the symposium. As judges, physicians have a chance to provide advice and support to tomorrow's physicians. Learn more about the symposium.
