Yes all doctors can learn but no guarantee they are good enough to apply what they learn.

Along with countries have different rules and regulations in terms of medicine. And what they can get in one country may not in another.

Look at Peyton Manning he allegedly left the US to go to Spain to get stem cell therapy which was not authorized in America.
