JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - While many foreign doctors are drawn to the United States to treat underserved poor and rural areas, some experts and health officials say the physicians are needed more at home.
The call by developing nations to stop the practice of recruiting foreign doctors — the so-called "brain drain" — has been getting louder in recent years.
Dr. Fitzhugh Mullan of George Washington University said the U.S. must stop looking elsewhere to fix its problems. He compared the practice to "poaching" and said it amounts to poor citizenship in the world community.
