Though Dr. Ima Ebong went to medical school in the US, that process wasn't straightforward as she was still considered an IMG.

🎧 Listen to her perspective on getting into US medical training as an international student:    • The #IMG Roadmap Pod 51. IMG Roadmap ...  

Dr. Ebong, despite several setbacks, persevered and was finally offered a place at the University of Kentucky (UK) College of Medicine, and later at the Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami where she completed her residency and a fellowship in clinical neurophysiology.

Currently, she is appointed as an assistant professor of neurology and clinical neurophysiology at UK College of Medicine.

Dr. Ebong is also passionate about diversity and the representation of ethnic minorities in the medical field. As such, for many years she has founded or been involved in various programs geared at increasing inclusivity of underrepresented minorities in the medical field.

Her clinical interests include general neurology, focal epilepsy, generalized epilepsy, psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, neuropathy, myopathy, motor neuron disease and electrodiagnostics.
