US trained international physicians work mostly in the primary care specialties (about 62%) and that is about double the 31% of all US physicians who work in a primary care specialty. And for a stable primary care workforce, they demand and deserve immigration relief, now..!!
26.7% of the nation’s physician workforce is US trained and licensed International Medical Graduates. And they deserve the right for free practice. @ChrisCoons@JohnCornyn@JoeBiden@AAMCtoday
The bipartisan Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act recognizes the contributions of international health care workers during the #COVID19 pandemic and will support health systems still in need of reinforcements.
Please support passage of #HWRA@SenatorDurbin@SenAlexPadilla
A brief window into an emergency room treating COVID-19 patients. We must do everything we can to strengthen the health care system and support health care workers.
#S3599 is one measure to ensure the workforce remains strong in the months ahead. Pass #HWRA@SenToddYoung
Hospitals across the United States are bracing for rising cases and hospitalizations in the coming weeks. This will put increasing strain on urban hospitals to handle the most serious of cases.
It is imperative Congress takes action.
Pass #HWRA#S3599

Despite comprising nearly a quarter of the physician workforce, we still languish, underutilized and unprotected, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sen. @TimKaine's support for #S3599 has been priceless.
Sen. @MarkWarner - please help us take better care of Virginians!
Thank you @SenToddYoung for supporting the Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act and highlighting the important work of @neothakur and other physicians on the frontlines. This legislation is critical to strengthening the workforce. @McConnellPress#S3599

As hospitalizations rise across the country, it is important to understand the implications for all patients, not just those with #COVID19. We must do more to strengthen our healthcare workforce to ensure appropriate access to care.

Congress may still get a #COVID19 relief deal done.
It is imperative that this legislation address the health care workforce, ensuring it is strong and protected heading into the fall and flu season. Pass #S3599.
