Some of those third world doctors are better than the American lefty ones that swallowed the koolaid. I'm thinking of Dr. Stella Gwandiku-Ambe Immanuel, who was born in Cameroon and went to medical school in Nigeria and delivered a major tongue lashing to Fauci on the use of HCQ. She's more American than Fauci. I hope someday she and Simone Gold are awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Once chairman Biden implements tax payer funded college, millions will become doctors overnight.

Yeah but a PhD in gender studies doesn't count as a real doctor.

Hey now, he married a doctor. An Ed.D., no less.

She said, ‘I was so sick of the mail coming to Sen. and Mrs. Biden. I wanted to get mail addressed to Dr. and Sen. Biden.’ That’s the real reason she got her doctorate. -Resident Joe

Educrats do it all the time among themselves. For a group who provably have gotten diminishing results for decades they are extremely impressed with themselves.

Babysitter Jill doesn't have a Ph.D., she has an Ed.D., which makes her a schoolteacher with extra steps.

And physician salaries will be cut in half, even for those that struggled to pay off loans in the past

Nah, the AMA artificially restricts medical school admissions in order to keep the number of new doctors below the demand. This keeps wages high at the cost of poor patient outcomes due to overworked doctors and low face to face time with the patient.

Ya wouldn’t let an African doctor operate on me though

I personally wouldn’t give a fk if I knew he went to a decent school, preferably not in a third world country. I once saw a terrible Indian doctor that told me he got his medical degree in some other country on an island I’ve never heard of. So basically made me understand anybody can get a medical degree if you really want to

If you knew he went to a US school then you would know he was also admitted under affirmative action and would have been admitted with a lower GPA than his counterparts. How you could trust any doctor other than a doctor that has a scholastic disadvantage to get into the same school is, under my semiprofessional opinion, retarded

Not defending affirmative action by any means. I agree that’s one of the dumbest policies I’ve ever heard of. But if I had COVID and had to choose between Dr. Stella and a white American liberal who denies access to hydroxychloroquine because they put politics above the well-being of their patients, I would choose Dr. Stella every time.

The article is actually scary and gives me the creeps at how far this is going.

It’s a product of the everyone gets a Trophy mentality, and pushing college ideals for everyone. The subject is obviously woefully unqualified, she took SEVEN years off of medical school. Yet she feels entitled to begin working as a doctor in life and death situations, and we have to entertain the idea that the only reason she isn’t is “systemic racism”

This isn’t just affirmative action bumping a few people here and there to the top, but an entire crop of bumbling idiots, whose only real qualification was either the willingness or ignorance to take on huge burdens of debt. The only limit to their qualifications is how much debt they were willing to consume for their credentials. Everything was handed to them, just more education credentials provided as a consumer product, no different than financing an over priced car.

This is the person who could be operating on you, piloting your plane, inspecting the water, operating the control room at the nuclear reactor.

We are doomed.

Indians are SE so they either put white or asian as their race (for Med School) so they would actually have it more difficult because of affirmative action (affirmative action standards from highest to lowest: asian, white, hispanic, black/ native american).

if I knew he went to a decent school, preferably not in a third world country.

This is the gist of the article. People going through foreign schools. If you read the entire article ( https://archive.is/HFVPU ) it is clear that the article is lamenting the lack of diversity.

""Dr. William W. Pinsky, the chief executive of the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates, which credentials graduates of international medical schools, said residency directors who down-rank medical students from abroad were missing out on opportunities to diversify their programs."

"Some have test-taking anxiety and prefer to apply to schools that don’t rely on MCAT scores for admission; others are attracted by the warmth and adventure promised by schools based in the Caribbean, which tend to have acceptance rates that are 10 times as high as those of American schools."

"Most frustrating, Kyle said, is being unable to work when he is aware of the urgent need for Black physicians like himself, especially in places like Atlanta, where he was raised. “It really hurts, because everyone thinks I should be a doctor,” he said."

The article should have been titled : "Thousand of People Who Graduated a Medical Program Can't Get a Job as Doctors Because We Need More Diversity"

"I am worth it" as an opening line should have been a big clue that this article would be pure leftist whining drivel.

I can guarantee you there are ZERO medical students at Caribbean medical school for the "warmth." If you're there its because you're not competitive enough to get into even the worst US medical school.

That's why hospitals don't hire their graduates. Who wants to take a chance on a resident who couldn't get into the worst medical school in the country?

Here's another quote from the article: “Straight A’s in college and perfect test scores does not a perfect applicant make,” said Dr. Susana Morales, an associate professor of clinical medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York. “We’re interested in diversity of background, geographic diversity.”

Edit: also why did they not do some research before attending med school in a foreign country, is it not common knowledge that these graduates are at the bottom of the list when it comes to getting residency.

Why is there an “urgent need” for black doctors in Atlanta? Will black patients only go see a black doctor? Will white doctors not treat black patients?

Serious question for black people: do you care more about the skin color of your doctor or their qualifications?

Question for all doctors: do you care about your patient’s skin color or their ability to pay/follow treatment instructions?

I never chose a doctor based on “geographic diversity”.

If they practice in the US, then they did their specialty training (residency and if applicable fellowship and sub-fellowship) in the US no matter what country the school the attended was in.

THE US gov owes her and a bunch of other doctors a big apology after they proved Hydroxychloroquine, Zinc, and Avithremicin stopped COVID more than 6 months ago.

RoBatten 9 points ago +9 / -0

What's owed is more than that. US gov allowed people to die because some of its overlords have a big financial interest in the "vaccine." All other treatments had to be outlawed for them to profit. What is owed is them hanging at the end of a rope.

Of course, but a public admission of all of this before they hang would not be out of the question.

Honestly though that’s the “brain drain” issue; the fact that we take all the best doctors from all these other countries so the people there get worse medical care.

A Nigerian, bigly famous.

Despite the challenges Nigerians face within the country and outside it, some Nigerians keep giving us reasons to smile. US Democratic party presidential aspirant, Hillary Clinton, who recently had a health scare while on the campaign trail, has revealed the man behind her quick recovery, and guess what? He's none other than Nigerian doctor Oladotun Okunola.
