A comprehensive review of past research and statistical data is necessary to understand the significant obstacles encountered by International Medical Graduates (IMGs) in the healthcare systems of the USA and UK. A careful review of the literature shows that financial, cultural, and linguistic barriers are worsened by the intricate USA licensing processes overseen by the ECFMG. The BMJ and the AAMC's research statistics demonstrate the prevalence of these difficulties and their impact on the career trajectories and well-being of IMGs. The study assesses the impact of professional networks, mentoring programs, and support systems in addressing challenges faced by IMGs in the healthcare sectors of the US and UK, emphasizing the significance of evidence-based interventions in developing inclusion and equality. International Medical Graduates (IMGs) play an important role in graduate medical education and broad medical settings, but their integration present challenges that need thoughtful evaluation of many concerns they face.
