quote:Let me explain this. First off, it’s not the “white man” who rejects these residencies. It’s all American MDs of every background.
So we are hiring over 97% H-1b and J-1s from third world countries to fill a hospital because it is not prestigious enough for the white man
Can't work manual labor.... has to be prestigious enough.... or whatever else y'all can come up with
This is an internal medicine residency. Primary care is the least prestigious type of medicine to go into. Internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, etc. Americans seek higher paying, higher prestige specialties. 40% of internal medicine residencies are filled by international medical graduates. By comparison, orthopedics or neurosurgery residencies are 95% American and only 5% foreign.
The point is, Americans aren’t seeking an internal medicine residency at Rochester General. They’re seeking urology, anesthesiology, obstetrics and gynecology, neurology, etc.
That’s why if you look up the family doctors in your area, many have foreign-sounding names, but if you look up specialists, they all sound American.
It’s not some conspiracy to replace American MDs. Americans get the best opportunities and foreigners take what they can get.

Because the government funds residency training, not US medical students.
The average medical student debt in the U.S. is close to $250k, add in undergrad debt and you’re talking $400k worth of debt for graduating U.S. medical students.
This is a daunting figure for most working class Americans. Take that $17billion we are paying to the health systems that are simultaneous paying for Super Bowl ads and sponsoring baseball nights .. and create a fund for US medical student tuition relief.
Also : Strip all federal funding from any medical school that discriminates against white/asian US citizens, and bar all program directors that have been participating in this illegal racist program from having anything to do with graduate medical education.

I think it was you who posted that white men did not want those jobs as they were not prestigious & in reality we both know that there is discrimination happening against whites/Asians as has also been pointed out from the Dr in my above posts. There is no secret that it is happening.
Regardless of that pointing out that there is more than likely fraud happening against your fellow Americans is not some sort of bad thing or some sort of racist agenda
I am not saying that there are not other factors that go into this & we should never have anyone coming here to work
I am saying that at a 97% clip in this and what looks like many other hospitals should be looked at for fraud
As I have stated on here recently I have watched jobs disappear and be taken from Americans for quite some time
I had 4 family members lose their job when National Industries loaded up and moved to Mexico for cheaper labor
Have watched it happen most of my life
I have constantly heard BS tropes about how Americans are not this or not that and now it is more of the same. The folks trying to raise awareness and protect those jobs are attacked & ridiculed
Americans won't do those jobs
Americans are not smart enough to do those jobs
Americans won't do those jobs because they are not prestigious enough
Americans are not hard workers & on and on and on
Y'all are free to call me dumbass racist and whatever else you would like to but at the end of the day I want Americans and their jobs to be protected...including yours

They can work Indian MD Residents till they drop, and they won't bitch about it. I wouldn't want to live in Rochester, or NY State for that matter. Check to see how many top Resident Programs Rochester has ? Then check the annual salaries for Rochester Residents. May have a lot to do with it. Also, when my Daughter was interviewing for the Resident Match, our Family Physician told her to be aware of the number of Foreigners in a Program. It usually meant Americans wouldn't rank them for Match, for whatever reason.

Your post is so ignorant.
Do you not understand that nonsurgical sub-specials require the IM residency?

There is a shortage of doctors in the US. My daughter graduates med school in the Spring and she is in a class of 200. Out of those 200, at least 75% are foreign born. The only reason is American college graduates don't won't to put in the work. They would rather be dentist, and take the quick and easy way.

In critical fields like medicine, we need 100% free schooling with very high (beyond normal) entrance requirements to prevent waste. Take away the cost and you will have plenty of home grown docs.

And for the record, I’m MAGA AF and don’t like all the immigration stuff. But this thing with foreign doctors replacing U.S. doctors is false. These foreign doctors are filling a need.

That is not a valid excuse for abusing a program to take American jobs

The least desirable IM spots are disproportionately filled with IMGs.
