From an IMG doctor to FMGE doctors and aspirants, I’m writing this as someone who has lived this journey the long syllabus, the repeated revisions, the uncertainty, and the quiet pressure that FMGE brings into your life. This exam is not just about medicine. It tests your patience, your confidence, and your ability to keep going when people around you don’t understand what you’re facing. What hurts even more than the exam itself is the way FMGE doctors are sometimes treated. The jokes. The labels. The casual comments. The bullying. Being made to feel “less” because you studied abroad or because you haven’t cleared yet. That has to stop. As an IMG doctor, I can say this with certainty: surviving medical school outside your home country is not easy. Different systems, different teaching styles, different expectations often with less support and more pressure. That journey itself builds resilience, discipline, and strength. Not clearing FMGE in one attempt does not mean you are incompetent. It does not mean you are unsafe. It does not mean you deserve disrespect. FMGE is one exam an important one, yes but it does not define your intelligence, your work ethic, or your value as a doctor. Many capable, compassionate, and skilled doctors have taken time to clear it. Their contribution to medicine did not become smaller because of that. To those who bully or look down on FMGE doctors remember this: empathy is a core medical skill. We all studied medicine to heal, not to divide. Undermining fellow doctors only weakens the profession we are all part of. And to every FMGE aspirant reading this if you feel exhausted, embarrassed, or isolated, please know you are not alone. Your struggle is real. Your effort matters. Taking time does not mean you’re failing it means you’re still fighting. Study when you can. Rest when you need to. Ask for help without shame. Protect your mental health. And never let anyone convince you that you don’t belong here. You are a doctor. Your journey is valid. And you deserve respect. I stand with FMGE doctors against bullying, against stigma, and for dignity, support, and unity. An IMG Doctor 🩺
