title: Some guidelines for the training of foreign medical graduates: results of a special project.
abstract: Since over one-third of the psychiatric residency positions in the United states are filled by foreign medical graduates, there is a need to identify and correct both the emotional and cognitive problems of these medical trainees. To meet this need the authors describe the findings and recommendations that resulted from a project involving two psychiatrists from a southweast Asian country who were given a specially planned year of training in Hawaii.
