Get to Know the HARC
The HARC’s goal is to build a bridge between the pool of foreign-trained medical graduates (FMGs) and the need for linguistically and culturally competent healthcare providers in underserved communities. In other words, the goal of this program is to assist healthcare professionals from all over the world, who have come to New York and have not been able to practice their profession, in obtaining the appropriate credentials and licenses so that they can return to their healthcare field.
