Success Stories

Hear from FMGs and clinics who found success through supervised practice programs

"After not matching for 2 years, I thought my medical career was over. Through the FMG Registry, I found a GAP license position in rural Florida. I'm now seeing patients daily and earning a good salary while my supervising physician reviews my charts."
DR

Dr. Diego Rodriguez

GAP License Physician, Florida

"Our rural clinic struggled for years to find providers. The FMG Registry connected us with three talented physicians who didn't match into residency. They're providing excellent care to our community under our supervision."
SW

Sarah Wilson, MD

Clinic Director, Missouri

"As a supervising physician, I was initially hesitant about the GAP program. But the FMGs we've hired through the registry are exceptionally well-prepared. They handle most patient care independently, and I just review and sign charts."
