To thrive as an Immigration Doctor, you need a medical degree, valid medical licensure, and familiarity with government health requirements for immigration exams.

Additionally, they may need to handle sensitive conversations about communicable diseases and vaccination requirements while maintaining a compassionate and professional approach.

What are Immigration Doctors?

Immigration Doctors, also known as civil surgeons or panel physicians, are medical professionals authorized to perform medical examinations required for immigration purposes. These examinations help determine if an individual meets the health-related criteria set by immigration authorities, such as the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Immigration Doctors are responsible for evaluating applicants for communicable diseases, updating required vaccinations, and completing official medical forms. Their findings are submitted as part of the immigration application process. Only doctors approved by the relevant government authority can conduct these exams.
