Of 367 East Asian and South Asian psychiatrists responding to a 1976 survey, 295 were identified as foreign medical graduates (FMGs) and 72 as U.S. medical graduates. Comparison of the two groups showed that the FMG'S WERE MORE LIKEly to be trained and employed in state mental hospitals and other nonacademic settings and to treat patients of other minorities. The Asian FMGs were less likely to have specialty board certification, a finding that seems to reflect their incomplete professional development and American acculturation. The authors conclude that Asian FMG psychiatrists shoulder much of the responsibility for treating minority patients in the United States, a job for which they may be ill equipped. Their need for special training in both cultural and professional areas is emphasized.
在对1976年一项调查做出回应的367名东亚和南亚精神科医生中，295名被认定为外国医学毕业生（FMG），72名是美国医学毕业生。两组比较显示，外国医学毕业生更有可能在州立精神病院和其他非学术机构接受培训并工作，治疗其他少数族裔患者。亚洲外国医学毕业生获得专业委员会认证的可能性较小，这一发现似乎反映了他们专业发展不完整和美国文化适应不足的情况。作者得出结论，在美国，亚洲外国医学毕业生精神科医生承担了治疗少数族裔患者的大部分责任，而他们可能并不具备完成这项工作的充分条件。文中强调了他们在文化和专业领域接受特殊培训的必要性。
