Is it the government regulation, or the American medical association?
From my limited knowledge the AMA has attempted to restrict doctors from non American schools from practicing in the USA.
While there are probably minor legitimacy/ educational standards, concerns with immigrants and foreign doctors, let's face it. This is really about supply restriction and increasing the value of doctor's education.
I believe the AMA is also involved in certification of medical schools. They very likely are restricting the supply of doctors that way as well.
I believe the AMA is always opposed as well to the implementation of intermediary skill levels between nurses and doctors such as nurse practitioners.
Obviously the AMA will be opposed to ai-based diagnostic tools and other types of things which will further undermine Dr. Value
Anyway, there are four pigs at the trough of medical care: insurance companies, drug device manufacturers, Doctors providers, and trial lawyers.
Restriction of supply doctors is just one aspect of the entire problem. It's a big aspect. Don't get me wrong.

Rather international medical school graduates also need to complete their residency training in the US even if they finished one elsewhere. So what happens is recent IMGs complete the US medical exams and directly apply for residency training in the US. However many of these requirements are made on a state be state basis and some are starting to loosen up residency training requirements if it was completed elsewhere.
