Let's just say, most clinicians because I know nurses, psychologists, dentists and veterinarians that won't do it either.
Then, there is a level of basic round/resident clinic work they MAKE you do for to advance to the next test. And as ugly as it sounds, they give most foreign physicians the WORST kind of rounds with tough charity cases--helps them practice their English.
For dentists, I know it rather easier ~2 years on clinical rotation, while they work toward a "green card" or citizenship. But, to get that license to practice, well, there is a counterfiet industry...

I would need to see if they fellows really had bonafide medical degrees from their countries and what they had to do to get them. Did they really do clinical rotations and pass several board exams?
