Details continue to emerge over the terror attacks in Great Britain allegedly carried out by a group of physicians. According to a recent article (See Foreign Doctors in U.S. Concerned After British Terror Plot Implicates Physicians), foreign physicians practicing in the U.S. are concerned over what the fallout on our shores might be. While there have yet to be any formal changes to U.S. immigration policy regarding foreign physicians, we are advising our physician practice clients who employ foreign-born physicians (as well as foreign-born physician clients) to consider having an audit of their physician immigration status performed as well as to consider instituting training on immigration issues for key management and hiring personnel.
