The Impact of Trump’s Travel Ban on International Medical Graduates

Several hospitals across the country are currently facing a shortage of international medical graduates (IMG) due to President Trump’s travel ban and visa restrictions. The ban, which affects citizens from 12 foreign countries and imposes restrictions on citizens from seven other countries, has made it challenging for foreign doctors who have completed their medical education abroad to train in the United States. Additionally, the Trump administration’s restrictions on visas like J-1 visas, which allow foreign medical students to work and train in the U.S., have further exacerbated the situation.

As of July 1st, medical residencies and training programs in the U.S. have begun, marking the start of medical training for newly graduated medical students in various fields such as internal medicine, emergency medicine, and surgery. However, many IMGs have reported delays in their residency start dates due to the travel ban and visa restrictions. In 2025, nearly 7,000 foreign-born IMGs matched or filled into U.S. programs, representing a significant portion of the incoming medical workforce.

The absence of IMGs in the U.S. healthcare workforce will worsen the physician shortage, which is projected to reach 86,000 doctors by 2036, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges. IMGs play a crucial role in providing healthcare services in underserved areas and addressing the healthcare needs of vulnerable populations. They also contribute to the diversity and cultural competence of the healthcare workforce in America.

Furthermore, Trump’s travel ban could deter future foreign medical applicants from considering medical training programs in the U.S., further exacerbating the physician shortage and reducing the availability of culturally competent physicians. The ban, implemented under the guise of national security and public safety, poses serious consequences for public health and medical education in the country.

In conclusion, IMGs are an essential part of the healthcare workforce in the United States, and their absence due to the travel ban and visa restrictions could have far-reaching implications for patient care and public health. It is imperative to address these challenges and ensure that IMGs continue to contribute to the healthcare system in America.
