ECFMG|FAIMER discussions with the State Department have led to the restart of processing J and H visas for IMGs who recently matched. More obstacles to overcome, but this is a great first step. #IMGs https://t.co/xqP5KsL7sQ
The suspension of visa processing threatens the arrival of 4,200+ IMGs at U.S. teaching hospitals where they are needed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. ECFMG|FAIMER is in close contact with the Department of State on potential solutions. #IMGs#SARSCoV2 https://t.co/9LVIO8toAn
Women/URMs are over-mentored. We need SPONSORS, people who will promote & recommend us for advancement. We are drowning in "helpful advice", yet see the same folks on the same panels year after year. Don't give us advice, give us opportunities! #WomeinMedicine#SocietiesasAllies
