New Rule Will Push Some Foreign Medical Trainees Out Of US After 4 Years

New Rule Will Push Some Foreign Medical Trainees Out Of US After 4 Years The policy change for F, J, and I nonimmigrant visas was finalized last week with a Sept. 15 effective date, Fierce Healthcare reported. At issue is the so-called system of "duration of status," which allows nonimmigrant students to stay for the length of their schooling. The new rule will allow students to stay for up to four years, based on their specific program. Hospitals and educators say the system will likely disrupt physician training and contribute to healthcare worker shortages. https://kffhealthnews.org/morning-breakout/administration-news-072126/
