The History and Challenges of Immigrant Physicians in the US Healthcare System

Since the 1960s, the United States has relied on soliciting immigrant physicians to fill vacancies due to the shortage of U.S.-trained doctors.

The widespread and essential presence of foreign physicians in the U.S. highlights not only the racial dynamics within the US healthcare system but also illustrates the broader workings of the political economy of healthcare in our globalized era.
