A recent NPR podcast shares these statistics about U.S. doctors:
- 25% (325,000) of all doctors practicing in the US are foreign born and trained
- 50% of all primary care and oncology doctors are foreign born
- Rural locations have a high % of foreign-born doctors
- 11,000 of all U.S. doctors are here with H1B visas
So far, the U.S. government has not agreed to waive the new $100,000 application fee for new H1B visas for doctors.
