PLEASE sign the link below for the petition "ECFMG CERTIFIED U.S. CITIZENS AND PERMANENT RESIDENTS BE ALLOWED TO WORK AS PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS" to be sent to our Federal Government. I found this petition already created through the website "WE THE PEOPLE, YOUR VOICE IN OUR GOVERNMENT." The idea is brilliant and is now something I am very passionate about. As a foreign medical graduate myself from the Universidad Autonoma De Guadalajara, although being a US citizen, it is VERY VERY difficult to get US residency positions despite passing the SAME US medical licensing board exams that American Grads take. This might be an alternative route for many that are in "limbo" and have medical school loans to pay while still being able to practice something we love...medicine. With the Affordable Healthcare Reform, there is going to be an EVEN LARGER SHORTAGE OF DOCTORS, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS ETC.... This might be our only "shoe in." It takes a few seconds to sign and let our voices be heard. Thank you! The link is below. Send out to all your family, friends, classes, co workers etc... It takes 3 seconds to sign!
