The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) recently published a piece on the effect H-1B visa fees will have on the Match, hospitals, and access to medical care going forward unless there is an exception made for the healthcare field. The article also explains the distinctions between the H-1B and J-1 visas for physicians.
Andrea Price-Carter, MPA, director of health equity advocacy and government relations for the AAMC points out that J-1 and H-1B visa holders do not displace U.S. medical graduates, and instead, fill gaps where there is a shortage of needed professionals.
Here’s the AAMC piece.
