Overview

This book presents a systematic examination of the Trump administration's policy of slowing visa processing and placing renewal holds on foreign physicians from 39 designated high-risk countries. It analyzes the administrative framework, visa protocols, procedural delays, and resulting disruptions to medical practice, while detailing the policy's development of existing physician shortages and its operational and economic consequences for U.S. hospitals and patient care. This book covers an introduction to the U.S. physician workforce composition and foreign medical graduate contributions, presidential proclamations, visa categories (H-1B and J-1), adjudication holds, grace-period limitations, rural service gaps, labor-cost increases, institutional advocacy, litigation, and long-term mitigation measures, and healthcare access projections and policy sustainability.
