Overview

Not surprisingly, the current administration’s impact on Healthcare Immigration has been significant. From Student Visa stamp revocation/cancelation issues to the new travel ban, healthcare organizations have been forced to modify and adopt their approach to recruiting foreign physicians (including J-1/ H-1B Medical Residents and Fellows), RNs and other professional health care workers. b/r The threat of ICE enforcement action across the country has incentivized healthcare employers to re-evaluate their policies and protocol for interactions with law enforcement due to Patient Privacy concerns and enforcement-related disruption of clinical services. Additionally, the removal of “safe haven” status for certain organizations including hospitals, is driving a renewed interest in Form I-9 audits and concern for Form I-9 compliance. b/r This session will provide updates and insights on healthcare-specific immigration topics based upon the real-world practice experiences of Michael Kim, employment-based immigration counsel with Hall, Render, Killian, Heath & Lyman, PC (focused exclusively on health care immigration matters) and Frank Garcia, Associate Vice President & Senior Legal Officer of University of Texas Medical Branch
