Foreign-Educated Health Professionals

The Alliance for Ethical International Recruitment Practices (Alliance) is a neutral, not-for-profit organization based in the United States that was created to ensure recruitment practices of foreign-educated health professionals to the United States are ethical, responsible, and transparent. It is comprised of a wide range of stakeholders with diverse views on international recruitment of health workers to the United States.

The Alliance neither endorses nor opposes the recruitment of foreign-educated health professionals (FEHPs), but believes strongly that when recruitment takes place, it must be conducted in an ethical, responsible, and transparent manner. The Alliance has developed the Voluntary Code of Conduct for the Ethical Recruitment of Foreign-Educated Health Professionals to the United States (Code) and created a monitoring, remediation, and verification process to achieve those standards of practice.

The Alliance recognizes that FEHPs either preparing to come or already working in the U.S. have a unique set of experiences relating to their recruitment and employment. The Alliance strives to provide a forum for FEHPs to both share their experiences and locate practical information about their rights and responsibilities throughout the recruitment process.
