Where are USA doctors going? Not here!

AMERICAN DOCTORS DON’T LIKE YOU MUCH

Lawyers are making a mint in the USA at the expense of the medical profession due to allegations of malpractice.

Doctors in the USA have had enough.

They are looking elsewhere.

Europe is the place!

Now, we in the UK speak the same language as in the USA. Well nearly. So you would think these doctors would be swarming to the UK.

Not so.

Instead they are buying “Teach yourself French, Dutch, German etc etc……books and CDs.

Why don’t they like us?

Is it us, or the state of the NHS?

“Again, places like Britain and Australia categorically seem to be non-options since they’ve regrettably taken the lead of the USA in these departments. (The United Kingdom seems to have the worst of both worlds– the med mal nonsense of the USA combined with the worst of socialized medicine.)”

WHY AMERICAN DOCTORS DON’T WANT TO COME TO THE UK
(read the comments too!)

Once the NHS was the envy of the world.

The Witch Doctor has the rather foolish notion that it could be so again.

But probably won’t.

The last time I checked, you can not practice medicine in the UK with a US medical liscence. So, you would have to repeat all your training. This is true in most other european contries. In fact, you can not practice in Italy, France, Spain or Germany.

Hi Chris,
Yes there are many hoops to go through at present in the UK although the GMC plans to abolish limited registration. Soon a new single registration framework of provisional and full registration will apply equally to all doctors no matter where they qualify.
Most of us in the UK don’t know the full implications of this yet.
