🇺🇸🏥 The new 100k $ fee for H1B visas will be devastating for the U.S. healthcare system

~30% residents are international medical graduates & ~10k of 43k residency spots are filled by docs with H1-B visas.

Previously the h-1B fee was <$5,000.

No hospital will pay a $100k fee for a $55k resident salary.

In 2016 there were 10,500 H1B holding physicians in the US (JAMA)

In the 2025 Match, 9,761 International Medical Graduates (IMGs) secured first-year residency positions in the U.S (NRMP)
