It's even more granular than that.

My neighbour who is a doctor moved to another city because that's where he managed to get a spot to train for his field.

It appears that he's learning much more there than he would back home because in this country some procedures are rare outside of his current location.

Reminds me of that South Korean trauma surgeon who trained in the states and has pushed for Korea to get US-style trauma centers.

Dude got plenty of experience dealing with gunshot wounds, which probably helped him when that one North Korean defector came over the border, riddled with bullets (you may have heard this story, it was big news at the time). The especially weird coincidence was that the surgeon's mentor from the states was in Korea at the time this happened, what are the odds.
