Note for International Medical Graduates (IMGs): Please be aware that recent legislation in Tennessee regarding the licensure of International Medical Graduates applies only to institutions with Tennessee-based ACGME-accredited residency programs. Since our residency programs are located in Virginia, we are unable to facilitate the pathways established by this specific Tennessee legislation. IMGs interested in these new state-specific opportunities are encouraged to focus their search on Tennessee-based academic institutions.
