On Monday the Association of American Medical Colleges released a statement warning that the policycould reduce the nation’s supply of doctors.

The AAMC says that 260 people from the seven countries includedin Trump’s ban — Iraq, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Libya and Yemen — haveapplied for medical residency in the U.S.

Last year, the association warned the country was not trainingenough new doctors to accommodate its growing population. Itpredicted that the U.S. would experience a shortage of between61,000 and 95,000 doctors by 2025, including a shortage of betweenroughly 15,000 and 35,000 primary care physicians.

The concerns voiced by the organization were poignantlydisplayed by the story of Suha Abushamma, a 26-year-old from SaudiArabia who was denied entry to the U.S. on her way to begin herresidency at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic. While SaudiArabia is not one of the banned countries, Abushamma is a citizenof Sudan, which is.

The AAMC voiced hope that it would be able to collaborate withthe Trump administration to undo “the damaging long-term impact onpatients and health care” that it said the executive order willcreate.

Other industries are also voicing concerns about the effect theorder will have on their ability to recruit skilled employees.
