That's great news!
It seems strange to me that more countries don't offer citizenship programmes like this.

There are plenty of those in Europe as well, in case you've missed the barrage of news about migrant crises, xenophobic naturalization policies, etc. Certainly, there are also countries like France that don't treat citizenship like some reward at the end of a pointlessly contrived maze, and these countries (IMO) deserve credit for that.
The West is often accused of "pillaging" the rest of the planet. Whether it is true or false, what is sure is that this cannot go together with key workers and vital forces, being sucked into western hospitals.
I fundamentally don't understand why people feel that they are entitled to a job in the US, that we somehow owe people from other nations a chance to immigrate, when we have entire swaths here in the country that have been effectively left behind by the economy (inner cities and rural america, especially Appalachia). Maybe we should focus more on training our existing citizens out of poverty and into skilled labor, rather than brain-draining the rest of the world.
What I can say objectively is that US docs are educated to be hyperspecialists. They do their thing, and their thing only and often have very narrow general medical knowledge. Europeans usually are more well-rounded, but that tends to backfire in smaller countries where there aren't enough cases to become truly expert.
This is an absurdly bold claim. How do you go from a personal experience to being in the position to make sweeping claims like this?
