Where Doctors Meet Demand
WeAreDocs connects fully trained International Medical Graduates (IMGs) residing in the U.S. with healthcare employers ready to expand access, strengthen care teams, and serve communities now.
We’re here to break barriers, challenge the status quo, and create a healthcare system that recognizes and values the expertise of every qualified physician.
What we do:
Our mission is simple: connect capable doctors with communities that need them
Healthcare systems across the U.S. are facing a growing physician shortage, projected to reach up to 120,000 physicians by 2034, with underserved and rural areas hit hardest. At the same time, thousands of IMGs who have completed full medical training or residency-equivalent programs in the U.S. are ready to contribute, but face structural barriers that prevent them from being acknowledged, compensated, and treated as physicians.
You are the Solution!
We are the only company that has successfully placed over 100+ IMG physicians without residency, helping them begin practicing as physicians in the roles they were trained to perform. We partner with forward-thinking healthcare organizations that recognize the immense value IMGs bring to patient care and are open to alternative licensure pathways to expand access and strengthen communities.
How we help:
Identify qualified IMG candidates aligned with employer needs
Support employers navigating alternative licensure and supervision models
Guide physicians through documentation, licensing, and placement readiness
Build long-term matches that benefit doctors, systems, and patients
We are proud to be official partners with The International Medical Graduates Academy (TIMGA) and IMG Helping Hands
Built by people who’ve navigated the path
WeAreDocs was created by professionals who understand the barriers IMGs face. Our experience informs every match we make and every partnership we support. With over 100+ successful placements and ongoing relationships with early-adopting healthcare organizations, we know how to make the process work for you.

Fulfilling my true passion and resuming my career in medicine once felt unreachable, but it ultimately became achievable. Stay hopeful, stay resilient, and trust that every step you take forward is bringing you closer to the future you have worked so hard to build.”
