Welcome back, clinical problem solvers.

This is Robbie, and I'm delighted to welcome you to part one of a wonderful conversation.

We were lucky enough to have two outstanding educators join us today to share with us their journey as international medical graduates applying for residency in the United States. This is an incredibly rich and practical, authentic

conversation by two leaders in the field. So if you have anything to do with this area, be it that

you are an international medical graduate or know an international

medical graduate and want to know the challenges that they face, listen to this fantastic

episode. It'll come in two parts. You're listening to Part 1 now. And Part 2 is a little bit shorter,

asking them questions.
