Doctors Becoming Doctors (video)

Immigrant and refugee physicians face many barriers to practicing medicine and working in their communities when they come to the U.S. While the U.S. brings foreign trained physicians into the country to provide health care in areas that are lacking physicians like rural areas but who leave after 3-4 years. Instead, they could utilize physicians that are already here, have years of experience, communities that depend on them, are culturally and linguistically appropriate and who will stay in the area.
