Cuban doctors?

[espo444]

Hi there. I am trying to help a Cuban doctor that has recently sought asylum in the US get her affairs in order. Her goal is to eventually get accredited to work as a doctor here but she is absolutely willing to start as a CNA, PCA, etc. Does anyone have any experience with this? She recently got her ID card and tomorrow will get a soc sec number. Which means she can start applying for jobs. But I know with Cuba it is tricky because they won't send any transcripts because she, for all practical purposes, escaped.

Anyone out there have any insight?

thanks!

The doctor can't work as a nurse, many foreign educated doctors work in research since they can often study for their medical licensing exams and network with other doctors about the process.
