Abstract
They can't believe that I round at 6:30 a.m., that I am available to my patients 24 hours a day, or that I don't get paid overtime for long hours. My medical school classmates who continue to work in Ireland live a different life from mine — one that I have left behind.But I am not alone. International medical graduates account for a quarter of the 853,187 physicians in the United States,1 an increase of 160 percent since 1975. Immigrant physicians also account for 27 percent of the country's 96,937 residents and fellows,1 having migrated in search of training . . .Keywords
