New UK policy on overseas doctors

摘要

Trewby et al identify the new nationality based employment policy of the NHS as a short term benefit.1 I am grateful that the institutionalised bias against foreign physicians in the United Kingdom was evident to me seven years ago when I decided to search for opportunities outside India. The US is still a bastion of equality and democracy, treating foreign medical graduates on merit and not being reluctant to hire them. The US shows that hiring people for talent rather than nationality is good for progress as well as ethically sound.
