They don’t fall into the same category as black, Hispanic, indigenous, etc that are considered under represented minorities

That's interesting. The rarer the procedure, the more it seems like questions about institutional experience and safeguards become relevant too. I hadn't thought about the TEE issue.

It’s pretty similar to the group of Asians that were fighting against Harvard for discrimination in admissions. Just look up MCAT scores by race. Asians have the highest avg MCAT score and GPA yet have lower acceptance % compared to other “POC”. And like I said, in the US on any official document Indians are grouped into the large category that is Asian. Sometimes there’ll be a subgroup under Asian for specific kind but most of the time it’s just Asian
Asians are grouped into POC when it’s suitable but other times are treated like white when it’s not suitable

quote:DNR carries specific connotations. Normally, it is an end of life or terminal disease issue. The request to be an organ donor would be at odds with DNR classification. Usually a medical team eliciting DNR classification would not do so without counseling the patient and family regarding the former.
If any of you are, or have ever been, listed as an organ donor either on a DL or any medical form anywhere, and you have a DNR, just know that being an organ donor will halt a DNR and your family has no legal recourse to stop it in almost all states.

I know. They DO. Indians are discriminated against in US education.

For example, in this case, Dr. Muralidaran received all of his premed and Medical school training in India. He received an MBBS degree from Madras Medical College in Chennai in 1999.

Again, the majority, indeed vast majority, of Indian physicians practicing in the United States gained access to our system, not through American undergraduate and medical school pathways, but through Indian medical school pathways. Specifically through a J-1 visa program, often converted to an H1B subsequently.
Meaning that in terms of med school admissions, which is the point of reference, there is not an Indian comparator. The reason there are so many J1 visa slots awarded is, in no small part, because the federal government limits US med school capacity vis-a-vis funding in an idiotic attempt to control medical cost through reducing availability of MDs.

DEI hires are literally killing us.

Hiring DEI has been popular...just like medically treating minorities over whites is taught in med school.

Maybe he just intently listened?

I didn't see which valve they replaced - probably aortic or mitral - but valves are designed to facilitate ONE WAY flow of blood, with no back flow.
You do the math.

You’re right on that

I had a friend growing up who was middle eastern. His dad was a chemist who held patents for things we use every day. They were loaded. The friend couldn't get into med school in the US so his dad bribed people in Egypt to get him into an Egyptian med school. He'd come back a couple times a year to see family. Around his third year, we were at my place drinking beer and earing Taco Bell when he says he paid someone to take all of his finals. This guy graduates, goes through residency, and is a hospitalist back in town. This shite happens more often than you realize.

That wasn’t what you asked me to cite.
While admission bias has been evidenced domestically, the Indian J-1 circuit circumvents it entirely. Far from bias against, the system sets up bias for that group.
The point being there are equally, or FAR more, qualified domestic candidates never even given the opportunity because the US medschool process excludes them.
Then we import (often inferior) IMGs to fill the gaps deliberately inherent in our medical residency system.
