AB  - This  chapter  will  review  issues  involved  in  the  training  and  education  of  international  medical  graduates  (IMGs),  including  differing  views  of  psychiatric  conditions  and  treatment;  differences  in  educational  experiences;  clinical  issues  involving  interactions  with  patients  and  nonphysician  staff;  technology  and  documentation;  psychosocial  issues;  and  medical  ethics.  General  suggestions  are  offered  regarding  possible  modifications  to  residency  education  to  address  the  special  needs  of  these  trainees.  As  in  any  discussion  of  cross-cultural  differences,  the  tremendous  variability  in  the  backgrounds  of  IMGs  must  be  acknowledged.  Generalizations  will  always  be  qualified  and  may  not  reflect  the  experience  of  all  IMGs.
