Program gets foreign-born physicians back into healthcare profession.
Byline: Elinor J. Brecher
MIAMI _ For much of a decade, Jean Fenelon was the healthcare delivery system in the southeast Haitian city of Thiotte: population 50,000.
A state-trained doctor, he diagnosed and treated serious diseases and delivered babies. But he had to flee after a failed political campaign in 1994 and was granted asylum in the United States.
To support a wife and three kids, he picked oranges and sold water pumps.
"I was in despair," said Fenelon, 45, who ran afoul of vicious dogs and suspicious homeowners in his door-to-door sales job. "I had so much to offer, but you can't use that here."
That changed Dec. 15 when he became one of 32 in the first graduating class of Florida International University's Foreign Physicians-to-Nursing program, the only one of its kind in the country.
An RN job awaits Fenelon in the cardiac unit of Osceola Medical Center in Orlando, Fla.
