Indian-American doctors seek end to physician shortage
Washington, April 12 (IANS) An influential group of Indian-American doctors has proposed a comprehensive legislative agenda to end the shortage of physicians in the US, which would need a staggering 130,000 doctors by 2025.
Members of the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI), representing thousands of Indian-American doctors, spent Thursday in the Capitol Hill meeting lawmakers to press their agenda.
This includes a provision for green cards for physicians graduating from accredited US residency programmes in the proposed comprehensive immigration reform bill.
