    Book Reviews | Gordon Campbell | Scoop News | Wellington Scoop | Community Scoop | Search What a headline: ‘Two thirds of overseas-trained medical specialists leave again in less than five years’. It is hard to beat it for dramatic effect especially as it is right on the mark. Aotearoa New Zealand’s health system depends on international medical graduates (IMGs) who are doctors who have obtained their first medical degree overseas.
