'Nobody wants to come': What if the U.S. can no longer attract immigrant physicians?

14. A contrarian view

I’ll probably get grief for this but here goes. I think it is morally wrong for the US to recruit skilled individuals from both middle income and especially lower income countries. These nations spend scarce resources educating outstanding individuals and then just when they are ready to help their communities we come along and dangle piles of dollars in front of them.

Note I don’t blame the people accepting these jobs I blame greedy America for poaching them and leaving their countries in even more dire straits.

I spent most of my career working in developing countries and no matter how much people here cry about shortages of skilled professionals you’ve never experienced anything like a real shortage of doctors or engineers.
