Note to International Medical Graduates (IMGs): Please be advised that while the State of Tennessee has recently enacted legislation regarding the licensure of International Medical Graduates, this law applies exclusively to institutions with Tennessee-based ACGME-accredited residency programs. Because our residency programs are based in Virginia, we are unable to facilitate the pathways provided by this specific Tennessee legislation. IMGs seeking to utilize these new state-specific opportunities are encouraged to focus their search on Tennessee-based academic institutions.
