> The US only accepts doctors who went to Canadian or American medical schools.

This is factually incorrect. There are tons of doctors that graduated from European, Indian and Chinese medical schools. To practice medicine in the USA they need to pass the ECFMG tests (US graduates take similar USMLE tests) and then complete medical residency. The last part is the hardest, for the medical residency admission offices are routinely discriminating against the foreign medical graduates.

Why shouldn't domestic medical students have priority over foreign medical graduates?

Why should they? If I take the same tests as US medical students and pass, am I not at least as good as they are?

Global market?

It's much easier for an us citizen anyway as it is easier for an employee.
