    This happens in Canada too, you just extra fucked in the US because you also have to pay up when you go to a shitty walk-in.

    I wish there was an easier way for foreign doctors, nurses, and medical staff to upskill, retrain, or otherwise have their credentials recognized so that they can continue in the medical field.

    I’ve spoken to so many people (and their acquaintances) who can’t afford the money or time it would take to start over to become credentialed in engineering, law, and medicine. Agreements like the Sydney Accord help, but they don’t fix the problem.

      Why not improve working conditions so we aren’t losing doctors who have trained here? They’re already trained in our system

        Mostly because they’re deliberately being made to leave the system so that it can be replaced by an worse American like system. For the reich to profit from.
