“I'm a FMG, a foriegn meddical graduate, A FMG can work on staff , UNCERTIFIED, as a P.A., A PA does physicians work but can't sign out the case because he isn't certified. His attending signs out the case. Besides FMG's, Foriegn M.D.'s, there are bonafide P.A.'s from PA programs also. You can call any local hospital and talk to their H.R. dept., They will inform you of FMG's, uncertified physicians, onstaff at their hospitals.”.

“Right, Pathologist.....I don't see your point, No, I didn't do residency, yes I did my internship for P.A. in Pathology, No, I don't plan on returning to medicine unless I must.
I performed , on average, between 10-15,000 surgicals a year, ranging from simple dissections, such as small skin lesions, endocervical & endometrial curettage and cervical punch biopsys to complex cases such as radical mastectomy with axillary lymph dissection, colon resctions and radical hysterectomy (including salipingectomy & oopherectomy)....
The microscopic diagnosis was left to my attending, since I wasn't certified, licsenced, being a FMG, working in the PA function.
I also performed autopsy, approx. 25-50 yr., again, doing the gross dissection with the microscopic diagnosis left to the attending.”

“As far as me, I'm an open book, Kugler can't find squat because I was never certified, admittingly, I'm a FMG (Foreign Medical Graduate), worked as a PA, doing what most FMG's do before going into residency. Myself, I opened up my gym instead of pursuing medicine further.”
