So I am a PGY-1 IM at community hospital where most residents are IMGs.
My problems is that when they talk to each other ( signouts, patient discussions..etc) they talk in their monther tongue rather than English.. since they are older than me, I don't really know how to approach this.. it is very irritating and i feel i'm left aside. I tried mentioning it a couple of times joking ( please speak English) but it never worked.
How should I proceed with this? I find it very unprofessional and disrespectful to others.
Any input is hugely appreciated!
