It is hard to disagree with Dr. Fisher about the problem of continuing medical education for foreign medical graduates (FMG) after they return to their countries (Pediatrics 61:133, January 1978). However, the other side of the coin should be exposed before expecting any action from the government on this matter. As it looks from the FMG's point of view, the new immigration rule that limits the FMG's stay in the United States to two years is a reflection of the government's self-serving attitude.
