Foreign born doctors increase in US, but path to practice difficult

Carol Forsloff - "I was looking around for a good doctor, but when I checked the local hospital there seemed to be a lot of foreign ones.  Are they are as good?"  Research reveals they are.

A clerk at Wal-Mart in Natchitoches, Louisiana once expressed the concerns many people have about foreign-born doctors.  That's especially true when the local hospital has a number of foreign-born doctors on staff.  While these may be hospital resident doctors still involved in developing skills, research shows these folks to be on par with other doctors when it comes to patient care.
