Navigating the Nexus: U.S. Healthcare and Immigration Law for International Medical Graduates
September 12, 2024 | 12:00 PM — 1:00 PM CST
The intersection of U.S. healthcare law and immigration law for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) involves a complex framework of licensing models, state laws, healthcare laws, and immigration laws and regulations. Navigating these varied sets of rules and regulations requires healthcare systems and IMGs to follow a complex system of regulatory and legal guidelines.
With IMGs making up a quarter of the U.S. physician workforce today, their contributions are critical to a stable U.S. healthcare system, particularly in addressing physician shortages and serving diverse populations. This webinar will explore a variety of topics that healthcare systems, hospitals, academic medical centers, and clinics should consider to ensure compliance in this highly regulated environment.
Topics discussed will delve into considerations under U.S. healthcare laws for IMGs practicing medicine in the U.S., including a review of:
1) Medical licensing models for IMGs
2) U.S. telehealth laws and considerations
3) HIPAA compliance considerations for IMGs
4) Stark Law implications for the recruitment of IMGs
5) Corporate practice of medicine considerations for IMGs
