Why are there two sets of standards in US medicine? Those for US trained natural born citizens and those who are born outside the US? I was today years old when I learned in India people can go straight into "med school" from high school for a whopping 4.5 years. Then do a yr of clinicals and voila they are considered doctors. HOLY FUDDDGGGEEE To make it worse they are only expected to get 50% on all tests/clinical equivalents. DUDE To put it into perspective I had to have 2 years of pre req's before I ever entered nursing school. To get into nursing school you had to have a top 1-2% of the class GPA like mine...in my accelerated classes I had to get 100% on all nursing math tests. I had two chances or I could be kicked out of the nursing program...the standard hovered around 90% or better for everything else and this aligned with NCLEX standards at the time. This was pre AI, in an old fashioned classroom with a drill sergeant for an instructor breathing down your neck as you pencil in the answers... For your friggin ADN (Associates Degree in Nursing) you have 2 yrs pre Req's 2 yrs class and clinicals. 4 fuggin years to be an associates nurse in India they call that a doctor apparently BSN 2 yrs Pre Req's 4 yrs class and clinicals (combined/total)=6 years for a BSN all-in MSN/NP 2 yrs Pre Req's 6 yrs class and clinicals (combined/total)= 8 yrs all-in or if they go on for DNP 10 yrs all-in General MD: 8 years minimum just to get the degree (4 years undergrad/prerequisites + 4 years medical school). However, you cannot legally practice independently right out of medical school. You must complete a residency, which adds 3 to 4 years for fields like pediatrics or family medicine, making it 11 to 12 years all-in. General Surgeon: 13 years minimum. This requires the 8 years of school (undergrad + medical school) followed by a mandatory 5-year general surgery residency Specialty/Brain Surgeon (Neurosurgeon): 15 to 16 years minimum. Neurosurgery is the longest residency in the medical field. It requires the base 8 years of school plus a 7-year neurosurgery residency. If they want to specialize further in something like pediatric neurosurgery, they must complete an additional 1- to 2-year fellowship, pushing the total to 17 or 18 years I get there is supposed to be 'bridge' training when foreign nationals come here but what are we even doing...this is insane!!! @SecKennedy @JDVance @IngrahamAngle They are only expected to get 50% in India...like how is that even remotely fair to medical professionals in the US and how is that not a massive public health an safety issue??? I know for a fact bridge training is NOTHING like actual med school and nursing school in America when completing it comprehensively like we are expected to They are allowing these people to bypass standards even further on J-1 Visa as long as they serve in 'underserved areas' In other words we can't find anyone to work in rural America we don't care if you commit medical malpractice en masse we got lawyers for that they are poor and can't fight back anyway...@IngrahamAngle You have to cover this scandal in US medicine It's insane

This is the Indian doctor who implanted a heart valve upside down in a child, and his education was completed in India. In India, a person only needs to earn 40% to pass, which is basically an ‘F’ in the U.S. Medical Degree: M.B.B.S., 1999, Madras Medical College, Chennai, India. Internship: General Surgery, Government General Hospital, Chennai, India (2001).
