Abstract

The article discusses a study on the risks of medical board complaints and adverse disciplinary findings against international medical graduates (IMG) in Victoria and Western Australia. The researchers gathered data on all complaints made against doctors to medical boards and assessed them for associations between IMG status and the incidence of complains. They found that complaints against IMG were higher than Australia-trained medical graduates.
