Nafisa Mustafa went to medical school in Sudan. She wishes she could be part of the solution to the healthcare "emergency," but unless state laws change, she won't be able to.
What about PA school? Could they apply and get scholarships? We need to explore this. Many international medical grads outperform our own students because they have finely honed clinical skills. They practice medicine where there was no CAT scan that you could order at a moments notice. So they really know how to get a good history and diagnose things that we in the United States could never do.

I appreciate your observation that they may have strengths compared to US docs. Thanks Sophia as always for highlighting this issue.
That's a really good point. For some reason PA programs didn't come up in my interviews or research...I will explore this!
