Interesting article on how we're not prioritizing medical residencies for American doctors, leaving thousands of them unable to practice medicine. There Are Limited Spots for Doctors in Medical Schools—and We're Giving Them Away to Foreigners | Opinion There's only one profession in which students who graduate from an advanced learning program and who pass all the required exams are barred from employment due to bureaucratic red tape and predatory immigration policies. That profession is medical doctor. Under the current system, in order to practice medicine, a medical school graduate must match to a residency position at a U.S. teaching hospital. If they don't match and complete their residency, they cannot practice medicine. Decades ago, earning an MD degree practically guaranteed one could practice medicine. That's less and less the case, as nearly 5,000 doctors heard last week from the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) that they went unmatched. That number includes 2,364 doctors graduating from U.S. medical schools in 2023 or earlier and 2,590 U.S. citizens graduating from international medical schools in 2023 or earlier.

Weird, but it does say there is 93 to 94 percent match rate for current year Are you proposing government getting involved? Yep. I work for a major US employer, and my unit is about 95% Indian, and now that even directors are Indian, they keep brining in more people from India
