If there's a doctor shortage, why is it so difficult for doctors to move where they're needed?

Many countries report severe physician shortages, yet internationally trained doctors often spend years navigating licensing, credentialing, and immigration requirements before they can practice.

Why?

Is the main issue patient safety, bureaucracy, protectionism, differences in training standards, or something else?

Interested to hear perspectives from physicians, medical students, and healthcare professionals.
