US opening doors to Indian medical graduates under Covid-19 pressure

迫于疫情压力，美国向印度医学毕业生敞开大门

WASHINGTON: New York and New Jersey have taken the lead in temporarily drafting foreign medical graduates — hundreds of Indians among them — in addition to enlisting retirees and medical school students, to join the battle against the coronavirus epidemic.

华盛顿：纽约和新泽西率先招募外国医学毕业生，其中就包括数百名印度人，此外还招募退休人员和医学院学生，加入抗击冠状病毒的战斗。

Governors of the two states have signed executive orders this week waiving licensing requirements or granting temporary licenses to foreign-born and foreign-licensed physicians in the US for training, in an effort to relieve pressure on the current overstretched work force and in anticipation of a huge spike in Covid-19 cases over the next few weeks.

预计在未来几周内确诊病例将大幅增加，为了缓解目前过度劳累的医务人员的压力，本周，以上两个州的州长签署了行政命令，为外国及持外国执照的医师颁发临时执照以便他们在美国接受培训或豁免执照要求。

The changes could see more than 1000 Indian physicians and medical graduates who are currently in the US on J1 and H1B visas join the battle, particularly if other states follow suit and Washington endorses the move. Every year, roughly 4,000 foreign physicians – and notwithstanding the shortage of doctors at home, a third of them are from India — come to the US on J-1 visas for residencies at teaching hospitals, mostly with the intent to immigrate.

如果其他州也效仿并得到华盛顿的支持的话，目前在美国持J1和H1B签证的1000多名印度医生和医学毕业生将加入这场战斗。每年大约有4000名外国医生持J-1签证来美国教学医院实习，其中三分之一来自印度，其中多数是为了移民——尽管这些国家的医生本来也短缺

Given this situation, many Indian physicians train in the US and then decamp to other western countries that are more hospitable in terms of immigration. Despite this there are an estimated 100,000 doctors of Indian-origin in the US, — many of them having immigrated when things were easier — including second-generation Indian-American physicians.

许多印度医生在美国接受培训，然后移居到其他更愿意接纳移民的西方国家。尽管如此，在美国仍有大约10万名印度裔医生，其中许多人是在要求较宽松的时候移民到美国的，包括第二代印度裔美国医生。

Nearly three in ten US physicians (29 per cent) are foreign-born, besides, 22 percent of nursing assistants and 38 percent of home health aides. Altogether, foreign-born workers make up 17 percent of the US health care and social services industry.

近30%的美国医生(29%)是外国裔，22%的护理助理和38%的家庭健康助理也是外国裔。总的来说，外国裔员工占美国医疗保健和社会服务行业从业人员的17%。

As with many other things, the coronavirus pandemic is forcing American politicians to rethink policies to come up with ways to streamline and channel foreign medical graduates into the US system at a faster pace, although the New Jersey notification makes it clear the waivers are temporary.

新冠肺炎大流行正迫使美国政界人士重新考虑相关政策，以便以更快的速度简化程序，引入外国医学毕业生进入美国医疗体系，尽管新泽西州的通知明确表示，豁免条款是暂时的。

Better to go there and be on the frontline rather than getting slapped by patients in India, which has become rather common nowadays. Last few days doctors are on the Frontline in India without proper protection treating patients.

还不如去美国前线抗疫，总比在印度被病人扇耳光好，如今打医生的现象在印度已经很普遍了。最近，在前线抗疫的印度医生缺乏防护装备。

TRUTH BE TOLD

A lot of Indians will be ready to serve Americans before Indians.
