The hardest part isn't the medicine. It's the waivers, the fees, and the wait.
There's a shortage, and you're the answer to it. Yet you face a fee that has climbed past anything reasonable, a two-year home requirement, ECFMG hurdles, and retrogression that can stall your life for years. You're not sure whether to pursue a J-1 waiver, an EB-3, or an H-1B, or which attorneys handle physician and nurse cases. A process this important shouldn't erode your dignity.
