Radiologists Warn Visa-Processing Delays Could Lead to Patient Care Crisis

Radiology groups warn that visa-processing delays may cause a patient care crisis, due to staffing shortages at State and Homeland Security.

• The American College of Radiology (ACR) and other medical societies sent a letter to the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security.
• They highlight ongoing staffing issues causing visa-processing delays that impede hiring of international radiologists.
• The warning is based on organizational advocacy, not on a published data analysis.
