Rural communities have long struggled to recruit and retain doctors. Many international medical graduates help fill those gaps thanks in part to the H-1B visa. #OurAMA urges the Administration to make IMGs exempt to the new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas. spr.ly/63322AFoSE…
Trump’s new $100K visa fee could worsen state doctor shortages, experts say • Stateline
President Donald Trump announced a new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas. The order has drawn criticism from leading medical organizations, which say immigrant physicians make up a significant portion of the health care workforce.
