A report issued by a leading US think tank says that the US Immigration must issue more permits to the overseas medical experts. It adds that the country requires more medical services in view of its fast ageing populace. It continues that the existing US Permit rules & regulations make it rather tough for the medical specialists from abroad to reside and work in the country.

More US job openings for medical specialists

Reportedly, job opportunities for medical experts have seen an increase in the country even as the same has been thanks to the nation’s ageing populace. Further, the country would witness a pretty high rate of job openings for medical scientists. The same will be thanks to a surge in the number of people using pharmaceuticals in the nation. By 2020, the US will see a growth of 36% in the employment opportunities for such experts. As if taking a signal from the growing requirement for medical scientists across the country, several universities in the US have started Master of Science Course in Pharmacology & Drug Development.
