Our Story
In 2012, Dr. Peter Gabor Bernad, M.D., M.P.H., FACP recognized a need in the increasing numbers of International Medical Graduates (IMGs) seeking to match in residency in the United States. An IMG himself and a practicing neurologist and clinical fellow in neurology at George Washington University, Dr. Bernad created AMIQT to share his knowledge and love of medicine with the next generation of doctors.
