Because of thelong‐term personnel shortages in the healthcare industry, foreign‐educated andtrained personnel must play a part in the solution to the healthcare problemthat America is facing. Stakeholders are actively trying to abate this problemthrough investments in foreign educated personnel.

These investmentswill only be sustainable if the standards of this industry meet the highstandards set by the healthcare industry. The Ethical Code developedby the AAIHR takes a 360 degree approach to ethical recruitment and ensuresresponsible international healthcare recruitment.

As a member of theAAIHR Code of Ethics Committee, I have seen the Code work in practice. Our office has endorsed the AAIHR Code ofEthics.  If you are a stakeholder in theworld on international healthcare recruitment, please consider endorsing theCode and/or joining the AAIHR.
