The Harvard Global Health Institute is thrilled to invite you to an upcoming online event, "The History and Challenges of Immigrant Physicians in the US Healthcare System" on Tuesday, February 11.

In this talk, Professor Eram Alam will examine the reasons behind this physician migration and how this migratory flow continues to influence US healthcare dynamics. The widespread and essential presence of foreign physicians in the U.S. highlights not only the racial dynamics within the US healthcare system but also illustrates the broader workings of the political economy of healthcare in our globalized era.
