A note from the IMGS chair
September 2026
From IMGS Chair Deepu Sudhakaran, MD, MBA
This month, I encourage every international medical graduate to consider attending the AMA Distinguish Yourself Summit, Aug. 26-27, 2026 in Chicago. Whether you are a student, resident, fellow or practicing physician, this summit offers valuable opportunities for mentorship, leadership development, career guidance and networking with physicians who have successfully navigated the IMG journey.

Your experiences help guide our priorities and strengthen our efforts to advocate for policies and programs that benefit IMGs and the patients we serve.
