Hello Dear Visitor Sorry for
Hello Dear Visitor
Sorry for interjecting in a conversation you directed towards Umar, but I could not resist myself. The question when put by you looks very simple but the answer to is not quite simple. There are many reasons why everyone (engineers/doctors/economists/scientists/educationalist) is running to the US and the word that we are looking for is OPPORTUNITY. For a simple example in our parts of the world number of post-grad seats much less than the number of undergrad seats (In India the numbers are approx UG-36000, PG-18000) and then in India the govt. has no plans for the rest 18000 UG students who are graduating every year, neither are there enough PG seats, not enough job vacancies, so what are the 18000 grads supposed to do every year? With the kind of training we get as undergrads we are good enough only for priliminary care but we can not take that for bread and butter and of course the people deserve better patient care. Health is of utmost importance. So I dont see any harm in students from our part of the world going to US (where there are more seats in PG than in UG, so they can accommodate international students too) for a training and then returning to their countries with good training and helping their people better.
Couple of years back the Indian govt wanted to impose a compulsory 1 year rural posting after MBBS. If you would be interested I would request you to read an article written by me on the same. It might give you a new perspective to the doubts arising in your mind. This is the link: http://viraatharsh.blogspot.com/2009/10/rural-posting-red-tape-fanatic-or.html
