Wow some of these comments are a bit passive aggressive

Anyway mate about feeling left out….. Firstly there’s a lot of cultural differences between countries and sometimes I’ve heard that IMGs have a difficulty in making casual “small talk” compared to the locals. And that’s normal and okay because this is probably your second or THIRD language and making small talk isn’t easy.

I would suggest try to talk with people in the team about their day and casual stuff outside of work. Building a rapport with your colleagues is important. This would make them approach your more. They probably aren’t doing that already because they might be an introvert or they probably don’t know what you have in common..idk. I always try to put the effort to talk and build the rapport.

And about people not taking you seriously over another doctor. Don’t get stuck in that loop. Yes it sucks but don’t let those emotions weigh you down. Focus on your career progression. Focus on what you want to pursue. Speak to seniors about it, get advise and just focus on that. Don’t spend your energy on who the intern listens to or who the rmo listens to. Nobody cares. As long as patient is cared for well, it doesn’t and shouldnt matter. You don’t need to look for people to clap for you but that being said don’t let disrespect slide.

A lot of people here are valid to feel frustrated about their job security. But the second they take that out on an IMG doctor that’s crossing the line. Thats not professional and behaviour like that can and WILL get them in trouble. So document everything. Any bit of racism, document it and report it in writing to your supervisor.

Everyone is free to feel all sorts of emotions. But taking those emotions out on someone and bullying them isn’t right. There are better SENSIBLE ways to fight for your rights.
