The Immigration Policy Center (formerly known as American Immigration Law Foundation) issued a policy report today regarding “The Role of Immigrant Workers in U.S. Healthcare“.
The report noted that the healthcare shortage occupations are expected to increase in the coming years. The reported noted a November 15, 2009 estimate by the Deparment of Health and Human Services that it would take an additional 16,680 physicians to adequately meet the primary-care medical needs of the population in primary medical health shortage areas. And a study released in July/August 2009 showed that despite the influx of RN’s that have recently entered or returned to the U.S. workforce projections indicate a shortage of about 260,000 RN’s by 2025. The report also included statistics of immigrant healthcare workers in the U.S. and noted 27% of physicians and surgeons in the U.S. are foreign nationals and 20% of all nursing, psychiatric and home health aides in the U.S. are foreign nationals. While these statistics were from 2006 (with current figures not yet available) all indication is that the numbers have remained fairly steady in the last few years.
