A brief account on the apprehension being experienced by the American psychiatrists who got their basic medical degree overseas, in the wake of travel ban by the US government.

Why is it important?
It sheds light on the important issue of the IMGs feeling at edge about the travel restrictions and what it means for them in near future.
Perspectives
I tend to think that IMGs do not need to panic but should be prepared to explore alternative career pathways in other countries in case of more restrictions.
