Broad Eligibility

Atlas Analysis

A high-leverage physician-workforce opportunity with a deliberately narrow applicant pool. The strongest applicants will combine trusted immigrant and refugee engagement with documented IMG expertise and concrete pathways into Minnesota healthcare careers. The program is especially useful for organizations able to address licensing, career navigation, preparation and placement barriers that keep internationally trained physicians from entering the state's workforce.
