“…Mason (1973) noted that the argument held up well for the large cities and suburbs of such countries, but that in rural areas or poverty-ridden parts of cities, practically no physicians were present, underlining the issue of whether training cadres of specialized physicians was an appropriate national policy for such countries. Irigoyen and Sambrana's (1979)hypothesis linked these arguments to structural de®ciencies of the US health care system to attract IMGs to this country only to marginalize and victimize them upon arrival. The logical conclusion of this line of theory was that the less developed`donor' nations had a structural asymmetric relationship to the developed world, so that physician migration had become an integral component of the`host' country.…”

“…Areas in which sociological analysis has been accomplished include 1) earlier work on FMGs in the social-psychological realm, concentrating on cultural adjustment of foreign students in U.S. educational environments (cf. Dasco, Antler, and Rusk 1968); 2) professionalization and the sociology of graduate medical education (Stevens, Goodman, and Mick 1978;Searle 1979); and 3) political sociology and the sociology of underdevelopment (Ozlak and Caputo 1973;Horn 1977;Gish and Godfrey 1979;Irigoyen and Zambrana 1979 tables produces statistical significance in the predicted direction for almost every table used for the linear flow graphs in this paper. As noted in the text, the d system of linear flow graphs yields conservative levels of significance, particularly in conjunction with the adjustment for the complex design of the study sample.…”

“…International medical graduates (IMGs) play a critical role in the health‐care systems of many western countries including the United Kingdom (Esmail, 2007; Monnais & Wright, 2016) and the United States (Irigoyen & Sambrana, 1979; Jenkins, 2018). In the United States, IMGs have long filled physician shortages by working in medical specialities and in geographic locations that US medical graduates (USMGs) often eschew (American Immigration Council, 2018; Douaiher et al, 2018; Heiser, 2019).…”

“…Despite their selectivity, the marginalised position IMGs hold in US health care has been argued to result from a process of intentional but covert tracking and exploitation by the medical profession to fill positions deemed ‘less appealing’ by USMGs (Irigoyen & Sambrana, 1979, 781). This tracking begins with IMGs' selection into residency training programmes.…”
