@whitfieldlewis6 Oddly enough, the "slim" female models (swimsuit, etc.), beauty pageant winners, and other similar appearing women who fit the media's definition of beauty are considered as looking "healthy." In reality, a very disproportionately high percentage of them have eating disorders.
@constans Many children of doctors don't pursue medicine as a career. They don't think the intense amount of effort over so many years is worth doing for the money.
@YasirQadhi It is politically more beneficial for him to vilify his constituents belonging to your religious community than to support it. Will your community politically organize in a meaningful way to change that by the next election? The answer is "no" and he knows it.
@DrBrittaniJ IMGs do not have debt like the US graduates. It is preposterous to say the AMA has any vested interest in wanting "captive-debt ridden labor.."
@YounisJoseph Medical school is super-competetive to get into. Answers to application essay questions and how well the interview goes can make or break a candidate despite high scores.
@isaacrrr7 According to Grok: "No mention of dismemberment or Islamic radicalism; it was an individual crime." If guilty, he should be punished more than the criminals in the Epstein files.
@MaryBowdenMD These type of scholarships attract the very top tier of global talent. People who are nowhere near that level of talent usually are the ones who complain the most about it.
@War4theWest The economy is global these days. Companies like Google are spending many billions of dollars as we speak to build/buy facilities in India and employ thousands of workers. Either you allow talent to come into the US or companies will open up shop overseas.
@theripsnorter@MaryBowdenMD Simplistic way of thinking. An analogy: No US agricultural products should be exported if anyone in the US is experiencing food insecurity.
@AhmadRehanKhan Another big factor: The US has far more subspecialty care and far more physicians spending time on research. The depth and breadth requires a higher ratio of physicians. People come from around the world to the US for cutting-edge subspecialty care.
@SanDiegoKnight There is a lot of great, global, finite talent that we have coming to the US who advance the medical sciences. If we don't attract the talent to come here, they will go elsewhere and those regions benefit.
@Soul_less3115 Often people with good scores do not match because of a suboptimally written personal statement and not knowing how to go through an interview well. People often are unaware of what they are doing incorrectly in these regards.
@RepStefanik@HarvardJews Ivy league schools are far more competitive now than ever. The US population of Indians and other Asians has grown dramatically over the past few decades. They often are very high academic achievers in high school and beyond. The old Ivy student body ratios are history.
@drabdulhameed07 According to a publication I read several years ago, children of physicians in the US have a 12% higher chance of getting accepted into medical school compared to others after controlling for a variety of factors.
@FreyaNorthnyot Illegal to make that demand in the USA. Contact https://t.co/1lss4dzx4g if this happened in the USA or Canada. You very well may be entitled to tens of thousands of dollars in settlement money.
