Important Note for International Medical Graduates (IMGs)

While Tennessee recently enacted legislation regarding IMG licensure, this applies only to institutions with Tennessee‑based ACGME‑accredited residency programs. Our residency programs are in Virginia, so this legislation does not apply to us. IMGs should focus on Tennessee‑based academic institutions.
