'Nobody wants to come': What if the U.S. can no longer attract immigrant doctors (npr.org)

I suppose they could expand medical school admissions for Americans, why don’t they? It’s not for lack of talented people, the class size quotas are an archaic classist and partly racist way of thinking that have nothing to do with meritocracy, but instead are imposed to make sure that more undesirables don’t join the “elites” of society.

Simple, US health care continues to fall behind other Industrial Countries.

But the big ask here is, what is wrong with the US educational System that forces people to avoid becoming medical professionals ?

Maybe when Trump is gone, this specific situation may revert back to pre-trump. But that does not mean education will be fixed.

Great news for Canada. Thanks we'll keep our doctors.

Bad news for New York, New Jersey, California, Maryland; or more aptly labelled democrat controlled states.

Probably the only republican state impacted will be florida, but they often buck trends like this. they'll keep their immigrant doctors.
