The only way an IMG/FMG can sit for the National Certification exam to become a certified Physician Assistant in the U.S. is to graduate from a fully accredited physician assistant program. There is no fast track currently available for IMG/FMG's to become physician's or physician assistants at this time. Many FMG/IMG's have completed PA programs to fullfill this goal and are successfully in clinical practice.
