80 are foreign workers on H-1B or J-1 visas. Only 2 are Americans.

Factcheck: The claim is partially accurate but unverified on exact visa numbers. Rochester General Hospital’s Internal Medicine residency lists ~78 current residents (5 chiefs + PGY1-3). Official FREIDA data shows 0% USMD, 2.8% DO, 97.2% IMG. The public roster confirms nearly all attended foreign medical schools (Pakistan, Nepal, India, Sudan, etc.), with only 2 from US osteopathic schools. The program sponsors J-1/H-1B visas. Exact citizenship or visa status of each is not public; Labor IG has requested the data. USMLE irregularities have been documented involving Nepal, India, and Pakistan.
