Members of the American Psychiatric Association who graduated from foreign medical schools, currently 25 percent of APA membership, are increasingly integrating themselves into the mainstream of American psychiatry. Nevertheless, an APA survey of members who are foreign medical graduates (FMGs) conducted in 1984 indicates that FMGs continue to pass the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology examination and to be awarded APA fellowships at a significantly lower rate than their U.S.-trained counterparts. Solutions to these disparities have been increasingly sought by the leaders of APA, especially those of the association's areas II, IV, and V, where FMGs are concentrated. The higher percentage of women among FMGs than among U.S.-trained psychiatrists and the increasing presence of Americans and Canadians among FMGs are likely to enhance pressure to solve the problems of FMGs.
毕业于外国医学院校的美国精神病学协会成员，目前占协会成员的25%，他们正日益融入美国精神病学的主流。然而，美国精神病学协会在1984年对外国医学毕业生（FMGs）成员进行的一项调查表明，外国医学毕业生通过美国精神病学和神经病学委员会考试并获得美国精神病学协会会员资格的比例，仍显著低于在美国接受培训的同行。美国精神病学协会的领导人，尤其是协会第二、第四和第五区域（外国医学毕业生集中的区域）的领导人，越来越多地寻求解决这些差异的办法。外国医学毕业生中女性比例高于在美国接受培训的精神病医生，而且外国医学毕业生中美国人和加拿大人的数量不断增加，这可能会加大解决外国医学毕业生问题的压力。
