... Since 2006, 7,000 Cuban doctors and other healthcare professionals have been admitted to the US under a special government program. The article went on to detail how Church World Services (CWS), a volunteer agency (VOLAG) that specializes in refugee relocation services and garnering large federal government grants in the process, helped to relocate these Cuban healthcare workers here and in 11 other cities.

... Although in 2016 there were 1,900 graduates of US medical schools that were not matched with a residency program, in the same year, 3,769 foreign trained physicians (FTP) were matched with residency programs here in the United States.

No residency, no practice.

Maybe I am crazy but it is almost like this is a scam run by leftists in a de facto NGO and in government itself...

Nah, that can't be right, that never happens in the US of A!
