Different paths.
A common connection.
The Korean Foreign Medical Graduate Association (KFMGA) is being established to bring together Korean nationals who have graduated from medical schools outside Korea.

Our initial focus is on improving understanding of overseas medical education and sharing information on professional pathways in Korea and abroad.
