Doctors Without Jobs

Helping U.S. citizens & lawful permanent residents who are doctors find a legislative solution prioritizing them for residencies & increasing the no. of slots.

.@SenSusanCollins is just terrible on the H-1B issue. The fee doesn’t affect most foreign physicians because they typically arrive on J-1 visas and later transition to H-1B status, which exempts them from the $100,000 fee.

Hello from Geneva, Switzerland!

[Dr. Insensitive Jerk @DrInsensitive]

Now that India has flooded the world with FFMGs (Fake Foreign Medical Grads) we must rely on other means to exclude impostor doctors.

The US has two main defenses against impostors:

1. US doctors must complete a supervised US residency. Unfortunately, this residency requirement has been eliminated in 19 states, including mine.

2. Our second and final safeguard is the licensing exam. Almost all US doctors must eventually pass the three parts of the USMLE (US Medical Licensing Exam.)

Unfortunately, exam fraud is as simple as hiring a ringer to take the test for you (he needs to look vaguely like the picture on your driver's license) and avoiding the test centers that check fingerprints. (Grok summary attached.)

Or, impostors could obtain the questions in advance, from insiders or from earlier test takers.

If this sounds like a conspiracy theory, well, it already happened, and you will never guess where.

In 2024, hundreds of scores were invalidated due to leaked questions in Nepal (an Indian suburb) and to anomalous high scores at international centers in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Jordan.

The statistically-unlikely scores were eventually blamed on early exam takers sharing the questions in WhatsApp groups.

In other news, you can take the first 2 parts of the US medical licensing exam in India. Then you can start practicing medicine in the USA.

Your Indian doctor might be a resident who purchased his Indian medical diploma then purchased the US licensing exam questions and took the test in India.

Fortunately, Part 3 of the exam, which must be passed at some point during residency, can only be taken inside the USA. So we can breathe easy, right?

Well, not exactly.

The US medical licensing exam is written and scored by two organizations. The first is the FSMB (Federation of State Medical Boards) whose president and CEO is....

wait for it....

Dr. Humayun Chaudhry.

The other organization that writes and scores the US medical licensing exam is the NBME (National Board of Medical Examiners.) NBME's Chairman of the Board is....

wait for it...

Dr. Reena Karani. That's her picture below, and why yes, she does happen to be Indian.

The physical testing centers are managed by a company called Prometric, whose Chief Products and Technology officer is....

wait for it....

Are you seeing the problem with our safeguards against fake doctors?

America is a high trust country and we'll just leave at that for now.

Here are the so‑called “EB‑1 Einsteins” who immigrate to the U.S. Hearing reports that we’ve has been overly lenient in approving O‑1 and EB‑1–based green cards. Immigrants have been launching startups just to qualify themselves as aliens of extraordinary ability. USCIS officers should be trained to deny nearly ALL EB‑1 green card applications.

[Joseph Younis, MD @YounisJoseph]

#medtwitter : As medical school applications open up tomorrow, I just want to wish luck to all our premed students here in America. Just a friendly reminder that if this cycle doesn’t go your way, don’t be too hard on yourself. The odds are mathematically against you. Last year medical school rejected 57% of you. Most of you won’t make it the first time. Like every cycle, the gap in physicians will be filled at the residency level. It’s not your fault, it’s not because you’re unqualified, and it’s really also not the international doctors fault either; they’re also qualified. It’s the system that’s been engineered for maximum extraction, exploiting our own American students for money.

If you fail, try again next year. If it still doesn’t work, you still have options and some of us are pushing for change.

Until then, feel free to dm me if you need any help/mentorship, I also have a large network of med students and residents across many programs if any could be helpful to you.

"Hiring has grown “tribal,” according to Kevin Lynn of the Institute for Sound Public Policy: “Professionalism doesn’t exist in these IT departments anymore… when you look at the hiring, it becomes very tribal — India versus the rest of the world.” Engineer Stephen Vivien described Indian H-1B workers at Google sharing interview questions to help each other. A New Jersey jury recently awarded $8.4 million against Cognizant Technology Solutions in a discrimination case involving bias against non-Indian workers."

@POTUS @SecMullinDHS the #H1B visa should be paused until we figure out who lied on their immigration forms stating they had degrees they did not earned but purchased revoked their visas, green card and U.S Citizenship and Deport them ASAP!
Why do you continue to ignore this fraud that is causing Americans to be laid off, lose their health care and their homes all due to cheap fraudulent labor!

[Do No Harm @donoharm]

🚨🚨 Texas Tech’s internal medicine residency program is facing scrutiny after Do No Harm revealed that 95% of its residents were trained abroad, raising concerns that qualified U.S. medical graduates may be losing out on training opportunities. 

Do No Harm has filed a civil rights complaint, while the ongoing case has sparked questions about whether residency selection processes truly value fairness and if merit is the deciding factor. 

What’s the bottom line?

“Medicine must not be political,” Dr Kurt Miceli says. “Rather, hiring for residency positions should be awarded based on a candidate’s ability to deliver high quality patient care, not one’s national origin.”

Kudos to @StevenEdginton and the team @GBNEWS for this hard hitting documentary on the H-1B visa and giving Kevin Lynn, the IfSPP's Executive Director the opportunity to share some of his thoughts.

[Tanul Thakur @Plebeian42]

I went on Padhaku Nitin and spoke about how the H-1B program actually works on the ground. Not the sanitised version peddled by policy wonks, academics, and the American liberal media (hello, New York Times). This system—or, more accurately, the “Indian diaspora’s best kept secret”—is much worse than you think: fake resumes, proxy interviews, ‘on-the-job support’, wage theft, psychological devastation, and more. I also revealed who has suppressed this scam for so long—and why.

And your point is what exactly? Imagine if you will, how different those statistics would look if the AMA, AAMC and our electeds chose to address our doctor shortage head on with policies and incentives that produced more doctors here in the USA rather than brain stripping the world??

[Doctors Without Jobs @DocsWithoutJobs]

1/ The open-borders lobby wants you to celebrate a Libyan pulmonologist in rural Indiana. Before you do, consider what Libya loses.

2/ Libya has a WHO-documented specialist shortage in pulmonology, cardiology, anesthesia, and radiology. The entire country has roughly 124 family physicians. Among Libyan doctors who emigrated to the UK, specialists outnumber GPs 10 to 1. Libya trains doctors at government expense — then the U.S. harvests them.

3/ Rural Indiana is underserved because Congress won't fund enough GME slots to train American doctors. Foreign physicians are a band-aid that lets Washington avoid accountability — while countries like Libya pay the real price. That's not a humanitarian policy. It's cost-shifting onto the world's poor.

Well said at @pfirorg . This guy's focus is not medicine. It is keeping the door wide open for more of his countrymen. They view the country as one big economic zone.

[Project for Immigration Reform @PFIRorg]

Stop acting like an immigration consultant and focus on being an actual doctor.

[Doctors Without Jobs @DocsWithoutJobs]

@jeetocorleone I call bullshit!

[Doctors Without Jobs @DocsWithoutJobs]

Wrong! The global elites always thought that America’s white-collar professionals were overpaid. So they created employment visa programs such as H-1B (74% Indian); work authorization programs for foreign students such as STEM OPT (Indians are the largest population of foreign students); flooding the zone with foreign trained physicians through the J-1 visa (a cultural exchange visa) rather than investing in more medical schools and teaching hospitals; then throw in a generous helping of DEI and VOILA! You have a bunch of entitled Brahmins who, to coin a phrase, were born on third base and thought they hit a home run.

[Saynotolibrandu @saynotolibrandu]

Indians aren’t hated in America despite their success, they’re hated because of it.🇺🇸🇮🇳

Conservatives see their own abandoned dreams realized by immigrants: stable families, crushing academic discipline, relentless entrepreneurship.

Leftists see their sacred ideology shattered by the same people: merit over mediocrity, culture over victimhood, results over narratives.

Both sides sense the indictment. Excellence has no greater enemy than those it exposes.😎

Stop hating Indians. Instead, learn what they are doing right to achieve what can be achieved by any American if they stay on the right path.

Resentment is a dead end. Excellence is a choice. Choose better.👍
