IMGs Valuable Resource
Yassar Kanawati, M.D
Marietta, Ga.
I am extremely delighted to see that psychiatrists are starting to
recognize the importance of the understanding of cross-cultural issues, which
is one of the most important issues that we as psychiatrists need to attend
to.
To better understand other cultures and thus provide better care to
patients from those cultures, U.S.-born psychiatrists should seek to work and
interact with international medical graduates (IMGs). IMGs are excellent
resources who are able to give different perspectives of and insights into
their respective cultures.
