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