Given the growing demand for more radiologists in the United States, the American Board of Radiology (ABR) offers an alternate pathway to ABR certification for qualified international medical graduates having completed their radiology residency in their home country. This pathway offers IMGs to become eligible for ABR certification without having to repeat radiology residency in the United States. The aim of this paper is to provide eligible candidates with a holistic review of the processes pertaining to this ABR alternate pathway and help candidates navigate the process.
鉴于美国对放射科医生的需求不断增长,美国放射学委员会(ABR)为在本国完成放射学住院医师培训的合格国际医学毕业生提供了获得ABR认证的替代途径。该途径为img提供了获得ABR认证的资格,而无需在美国重复放射学住院。本文的目的是为合格的候选人提供有关该ABR替代途径的流程的全面审查,并帮助候选人导航该流程。

Radiology remains a highly sought-after specialty in the United Kingdom (UK), attracting a substantial number of international medical graduates (IMGs) who seek opportunities to train or practise within the National Health Service (NHS). For IMGs, multiple pathways exist, broadly categorized into the postgraduate medical graduate (PLAB) route for those without prior radiology training, and the postgraduate qualification (PGQ) route for those already trained in radiology abroad. Additional avenues include sponsorship schemes such as the Medical Training Initiative (MTI). This article provides a comprehensive review of these pathways, highlighting requirements for Graduate Medical Council (GMC) registration, foundation equivalence, fellowship opportunities, and consultant-level posts. A practical overview of entry routes, job types, and career progression options is provided to guide prospective IMG radiologists in making informed decisions.
放射学在英国仍然是一个非常受欢迎的专业,吸引了大量的国际医学毕业生(img),他们寻求在国家卫生服务(NHS)内培训或实践的机会。对于img来说,存在多种途径,大致分为没有事先接受放射学培训的人的研究生医学研究生(PLAB)途径和已经在国外接受放射学培训的人的研究生资格(PGQ)途径。其他途径包括赞助计划,如医疗培训倡议。本文对这些途径进行了全面的回顾,重点介绍了研究生医学委员会(GMC)注册、基础等效性、奖学金机会和顾问级职位的要求。提供了入门路线,工作类型和职业发展选择的实用概述,以指导未来的IMG放射科医生做出明智的决定。

International medical graduates (IMGs) represent a vital yet often underrecognized segment of the U.S. physician workforce, particularly in radiology. This manuscript offers a dual perspective—empirical and experiential—on the IMG experience, integrating data from recent literature with personal narratives from four non-U.S. IMGs. We explore key stages of the journey, from the difficult decision to leave home, to navigating the highly competitive residency match, and adapting to new cultural, linguistic, and professional norms. Quantitative data highlight the disproportionate academic and research efforts required of non-U.S. IMGs to achieve comparable match outcomes; alongside significant challenges related to visas, finances, and systemic barriers. Personal stories illustrate how these obstacles manifest in real lives—through isolation, cultural displacement, racial and gender bias, and identity negotiation. Yet, these same stories reveal remarkable resilience, growth, and eventual belonging. As IMGs transition from trainees to mentors and leaders, they bring diverse perspectives that enrich the field of radiology. We advocate for institutional reform, expanded mentorship, and more inclusive visa policies to strengthen the IMG pipeline. Ultimately, this work calls for recognition—not only of the hardships IMGs endure, but of the essential contributions they make to American medicine.
国际医学毕业生(IMGs)代表了美国医生劳动力中一个重要但往往未被充分认识的部分,特别是在放射学方面。本文对IMG的经历提供了双重视角——实证和经验,将近期文献中的数据与四位非美国人的个人叙述相结合。一。我们探讨了旅程的关键阶段,从离开家的艰难决定,到在竞争激烈的住院医师比赛中导航,以及适应新的文化,语言和专业规范。定量数据突出了非美国学生在学术和研究方面所付出的不成比例的努力。img实现可比较的比赛结果;除此之外,还有与签证、资金和体制障碍相关的重大挑战。个人故事说明了这些障碍如何在现实生活中表现出来——通过孤立、文化流离失所、种族和性别偏见以及身份谈判。然而,这些同样的故事揭示了非凡的韧性、成长和最终的归属感。随着img从实习生转变为导师和领导者,他们带来了丰富放射学领域的不同观点。我们主张进行机构改革,扩大师徒关系,实施更具包容性的签证政策,以加强国际移民管理团队。最终,这项工作需要得到认可——不仅是对img所承受的艰辛,而且是对他们对美国医学做出的重要贡献。

Radiologists worldwide face growing demand amid expanding imaging needs and subspecialization. For international medical graduates (IMGs), overseas training offers significant opportunity but requires deliberate, goal-aligned decision-making. This article proposes a practical framework to evaluate whether, where, and how to pursue training overseas. We contrast training contexts in low- and middle-income countries with high-income settings and outline benefits and challenges of training overseas, as well as the major determinants of location for further training and practice. The article also describes common elements emphasized in overseas applications, including research productivity, teaching and leadership experience, conference participation, and short observerships, along with the role of professional networking through mentors, academic meetings, and digital platforms. Ultimately, we emphasize that overseas training is not inherently superior or necessary; its value depends on alignment with long-term professional and personal goals.
在不断扩大的成像需求和细分领域,世界范围内的放射科医生面临着不断增长的需求。对于国际医学毕业生(img)来说,海外培训提供了大量机会,但需要深思熟虑、目标一致的决策。本文提出了一个实用的框架来评估是否、在哪里以及如何进行海外培训。我们对比了低收入和中等收入国家与高收入国家的培训环境,概述了海外培训的好处和挑战,以及进一步培训和实践地点的主要决定因素。文章还描述了海外申请中强调的共同因素,包括研究生产力、教学和领导经验、会议参与和短期观察员,以及通过导师、学术会议和数字平台建立专业网络的作用。最后,我们要强调的是,海外培训并非天生优越或必要;它的价值取决于与长期职业和个人目标的一致性。

There are two main radiology practice models in Canada. One is an academic radiology practice, located in centers where radiology trainees undergo training and are typically university-affiliated tertiary medical centers with a focus on research and education. The other is a community radiology practice, located in smaller hospitals, which are not main teaching sites, though they may take learners for some rotations and electives. Radiologists in community practices typically have a broader scope of practice and often see a large volume of cases.
Some of the challenges experienced in radiology in Canada are shared between academic and community practices; however, there are unique challenges faced by each practice environment and also strengths and benefits to both types of practices. This paper provides an overview of academic and community radiology practice in Canada with an emphasis on their strengths and challenges. It also reviews the practice of radiology as an international medical graduate (IMG), outlining related challenges and supports.
加拿大有两种主要的放射学实践模式。一种是学术放射学实践,位于放射学学员接受培训的中心,通常是大学附属的三级医疗中心,重点是研究和教育。另一种是社区放射学实践,位于较小的医院,这些医院不是主要的教学场所,尽管它们可能会让学习者进行一些轮岗和选修课。社区实践中的放射科医生通常有更广泛的实践范围,经常看到大量的病例。加拿大放射学面临的一些挑战在学术和社区实践中是共享的;然而,每种实践环境都面临着独特的挑战,两种类型的实践也都有各自的优势和优势。本文概述了加拿大的学术和社区放射学实践,重点介绍了他们的优势和挑战。它还回顾了作为国际医学毕业生(IMG)的放射学实践,概述了相关的挑战和支持。

Radiology practice in the Middle East, particularly in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain, has rapidly expanded over the past two decades, attracting radiologists from across the world.
This review provides a practical and comprehensive, country-specific guide for international radiologists seeking professional opportunities in the region. It outlines the standardized steps for credential verification through Primary Source Verification, the licensing examinations required by each regulatory authority, and explains the tier-based eligibility system that classifies applicants as specialists or consultants. The article also compares practice settings in private, public, and academic healthcare sectors, highlighting the workload, responsibilities, and academic expectations. Job search strategies are discussed, including reliable online platforms and country-specific recruitment portals. By combining regulatory guidance with real-world insights, this article aims to simplify the migration process and support successful integration into the region’s evolving healthcare systems.

Radiologists practising in Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand are part of diverse healthcare communities with a commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centred care against a backdrop of natural beauty and rich culture. The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) is the peak professional body for specialist and trainee radiologists in clinical radiology. While RANZCR oversees clinical radiology training, fellowship and professional practice, Australia and New Zealand each have their own medical regulatory boards and accreditation councils that manage the medical registration of clinicians in their respective countries. This paper provides introductory guidance regarding clinical radiology specialty training in Australia and New Zealand, as well as outlining the pathways that may be available for international medical specialists and pre-vocational doctors considering practising radiology in these countries.
澳大利亚和新西兰的放射科医生是多元化医疗保健社区的一部分,致力于在自然美景和丰富文化的背景下提供高质量、以患者为中心的护理。澳大利亚和新西兰皇家放射科医师学院(RANZCR)是临床放射学专家和实习放射科医师的最高专业机构。RANZCR负责监督临床放射学培训、奖学金和专业实践,澳大利亚和新西兰各自有自己的医疗监管委员会和认证委员会,负责管理各自国家临床医生的医疗注册。本文提供了澳大利亚和新西兰临床放射学专业培训的介绍性指导,并概述了考虑在这些国家从事放射学的国际医学专家和职业前医生可能可用的途径。
