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

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.

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”.
