Description
The Minnesota Department of Health’s Office of Rural Health and Primary Care awards this grant to organizations providing career guidance and support services for immigrant international medical graduates (IMGs) seeking to enter Minnesota’s health workforce. The program addresses barriers IMGs face in becoming licensed and practicing medicine in the state.
The grant supports comprehensive services that help graduates navigate health care career paths, including physician and non-physician opportunities. By helping IMGs put their medical backgrounds to work, the program aims to strengthen Minnesota’s health care workforce, expand access to care, support healthy communities, and increase culturally responsive care for underserved populations.
