Immigration may Solve Acute Shortage of Healthcare Workers
Immigration as a means to protect the health care system
A recent report comments on the importance of enacting comprehensive immigration reform in Congress to protect the local healthcare system with the help of foreign workforce.
Indeed, even though there is a lot of controversy surrounding the immigration sector, especially since President Biden took office in January 2021, it is important to ask what is the real role of foreigners in the local workforce and in the US market in general.
Well, speaking specifically about the healthcare system, a study conducted in April 2020, in the midst of the first Coronavirus outbreak, revealed that at least 29% of the nation’s physicians are foreign nationals and 38% of home health aides also come from other countries.

Acute shortage of healthcare professionals
The acute shortage of healthcare professionals is highlighting the imperative need to attract workers from abroad to fill labor gaps.
According to research conducted by AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges):
- By 2034, the US could experience a shortage of between 37,800 and 124,000 physicians if it does not do something to streamline immigration processes and welcome foreign health professionals.
Other studies and research have revealed that:
- 120 rural hospitals have closed across the US since 2010 due to a lack of qualified healthcare workers.
- In 2015 alone, there was not a single physician available in 135 counties across the US.
- Prior to COVID-19, New York State had a shortage of 1,188 physicians, increasing the risk in the midst of the pandemic.
