All doctors licensed in the US have to train in the US….regardless if they’ve already trained in another country….

Docta V | MD :
The fact that post had to be made…makes me so sad, and seeing some of the comments below is so disheartening. My parents immigrated here when I was six months old, not for me to be a doctor but for education and opportunity. I grew up in a very modest upbringing, did elementary school, middle school, high school, college, medical school, and residency here, I have more than 200k student loans and I worked so hard to get where I am as a doctor. And yet, sometimes, all people see — even though I consider myself American — is my name and the color of my skin. For some people, that’s all they’ll see.

So many second gen Indian Americans are going to med schools in the US so you will see even more Indians. Hard working and well educated.

As an Indian-American who can’t save a life even though I can technically add a Dr in front of my name, I’ve experienced this in the reverse: being mistaken for a doctor because I look Indian! It happened when I was in grad school. The man who asked me was from a small town in the Midwest. That look of disappointment when I say “yes but not that kind” hurt. 😃 Apparently it’s even more common in places most American doctors won’t voluntarily take their practice.

You missed the main reason, Korean War and subsequent Vietnam war created immense shortage of medical professionals. Doctors were given green cards on arrival at airports.

Everyone wants to practice as a doctor in US tbh. It's extremely lucrative and about the highest you can ever get paid as a salaried professional

Only candidates willing to dedicate a major chunk of your life to rigorous studies and lots of sacrifices be it loss of missed family times and social life go in for for these studies and I don’t know any other group of people more inclined to do this. We should really salute these dedicated people .

Indian doctors attend vast number of patients during training . They’ve much more experience than the US doctors in dealing with patients. It’s a number game and obviously Indian doctors have much more of the numbers.

US med school program is too long for no good reason. In India physicians hold an undergrad degree MBBS. They start med school after their 12th grade. They don’t waste 4 years for a college degree to go to med school.

I actually prefer an Indian doctor who was educated and trained in India over one who trained here. Medical training in India is incredibly rigorous, and doctors often get extensive hands-on clinical experience with real patients from very early in their training.

I thought they trained in India and then had to train all over again in a USA residency program. So I think they are American trained

Getting into med school in India is super tough. But they're starting to add more med schools. My district recently got one!

The US system drives many students away from even thinking of med school because of the structural flaws in the system.

I don’t understand why,since medical school is so competitive to get into, and so many American students are turned down, why is there a shortage of doctors? Why do they have to go out of the country? (I am a Sonographer, btw, and I have had great experiences with every single Indian physician I’ve worked with. No hate on them!)

But also my relatives in India can usually see any doctors usually within a week or so. Medical

You forgot one reason for the physician shortage: The AMA and the federal govt in the 80s and 90s spreading the idea of a doctor surplus, thereby constraining the growth in medical schools and class sizes, and starting in the late 90s capping medicare funded residency positions, which reduced residency positions.
