The controversy surrounding the issues of immigration policy regarding foreign medical graduates (FMGs) has tended to diminish attention to other important aspects of physicians' migration to the United States-aspects related to their professional integration and to their personal, familial, and psychosocial adaptation. This report concerns a sample of 50 physicians from Latin America who determined to remain in the United States after postgraduate training. The professional, economic, and familial factors that led to their decision to remain in the United States to practice is discussed.
