Ohm said that internship "used to be slavery. but its not any more." He explained that some small hospitals will give the air fare to the doctor as a bonus. as well as furnishing him with an apartment and a salary of $600 a month. He said that the Korean doctors seemed to be satisfied with their new jobs. "Most dont go back home once they get here." he said. even though the Government in Seoul has been trying to persuade them to return. Attempts to limit the influx of foreign doctors have failed in part because of changes in the immigration regulations. At one time ECFMG certification was almost mandatory. Then the regulations were relaxed to let foreign doctors enter the country without certification if they had a medical degree and had practiced for at least two years in their own countries.
