My take based on why the UK doctor job market is broken, following the BMA announcement of a plan to lobby for RLMT (British grads prioritised for jobs once again) - a thread 🧵

1) Almost every country prioritises their own grads - see USA/Aus/Canada etc. This isn’t “racist” or “IMG hating” but a product of getting the best value of taxpayer investment. A UK grad who may have £100k+ of debt and public investment should be retained with jobs prospects. They were also more likely to stay - less so now because of NHS and job prospects. 

Yet I don’t see anyone calling Americans/Canadians/Australians racist when they openly deprioritise IMGs
