Countries IMGs come from

Nigeria, India, Cuba, Ghana — every IMG's path has nuances. This guide cuts through the confusion.

I navigated the MBTT process myself — as someone trained in Jamaica, returning to my homeland. I know exactly what IMGs face because I lived it.

About Dr. Lochan

The physician who built a bridge

I trained at the University of the West Indies, Mona. After completing my internship and SHO experience in Jamaica, I returned to Trinidad & Tobago and navigated the MBTT registration process firsthand.

Enquiries from doctors worldwide who find me on YouTube revealed a critical gap: IMGs want to practise in T&T but the roadmap is fragmented and intimidating. I created the resource I wish had existed when I made this journey.
