Unintended Consequences of the Residency Match

Unintended Consequences of the Residency Match


today i read an article in doximity by the above  title

"For people with a greater than 50 percent chance of landing their top job choice and a greater than 90 percent chance of getting a job in their field, would it seem like overkill for each of them to apply for more than 40 jobs?"
can I sue the Various Medical Associations,Hospitals and residency programs under  MRTPC.

Yes the whole system is nothing but a monopoly.It is a system  which makes slave laborers out of  IMG for 3 to 5 years based on what residency programs/fellow ships they can have ( mainly dregs not wanted by the  US MGs).

I know of  Specialists like gastroenterologists,cardiologists, Cardiothoracic surgeons, neurosurgeons, pediatric surgeon sand  neurologists with  decades of clinical experience getting admitted to primary care residencies.
very few residency programs recognize their previous experience and give them any credit in the past quite a few of them were able to complete their residencies sometimes less than a half of the period/
some of these individuals were having more experience than some of the consultants who come to teach them.
Is this not a waste of human resources?
Do you think that the anatomy and physiology of Americans is different from that of other country population?
If you think that there is a difference between the way medicine is start are practiced in other countries and feel that they may be inferior or substandard than you should have a qualifying examination which basically is nothing but the USMLE.
If medical school training can be accepted after an IMG qualifies in USMLE why should it not be possible to have other qualifying examinations for other specialists?

This is a question which should be raised at the WTO immediately/
