JAMA research letter, published online October 29, 2025, shows geographic distribution of healthcare professionals sponsored for H-1B visas in the US. Four US maps display percentages for physicians, advanced practice providers, dentists, and other health care workers.

H-1B visa–sponsored physicians are twice as prevalent in rural counties and nearly 4 times as common in high-poverty areas, highlighting the potential harm of rising visa costs to health care access.
