By and large, American residencies are taking highly qualified FMGs. The competition for them is so steep that the middling candidates don't really have much of a shot. So we're pretty much getting the cream of the crop. I think America absolutely benefits from attracting many of the best doctors, scientists, artists, businessmen, etc from around the world to our country. I don't even really see where fair comes into it. It's not like there's any appreciable number of American medical graduates who can't match into any residency program.
