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