MSSNY and the IMG Section Are Proud to Recognize International Medical Graduates (IMGs) During this Special Appreciation Week
IMGs represent a vital and significant segment of New York’s healthcare workforce. These physicians bring invaluable training, experience, and knowledge to every facet of healthcare delivery across the state.
Many IMGs have overcome numerous challenges and hurdles to contribute to New York’s healthcare system. Their dedication and impact span the state, from metropolitan hubs like New York City to suburban and rural areas, including Rochester, Watertown, Binghamton, and Albany.
We are proud to highlight several esteemed IMGs in our Member Spotlights, including Dr. Caleb Atkins, Dr. Amit Saxena, Dr. Subhash Chandra, and Dr. Sumir Sahgal. These physicians have demonstrated exceptional leadership, dedication, and innovation in their fields, enhancing patient care and advancing medical practices throughout New York.
As medicine faces ongoing challenges, particularly in New York, IMGs continue to play a pivotal role in clinical and non-clinical settings. Their commitment to delivering quality healthcare remains steadfast, even in these difficult times.
In today’s complex healthcare landscape, we must take a moment to appreciate and recognize the tireless dedication of International Medical Graduates, whose contributions continue to strengthen the health of our communities.
