What is ICHP?
The International Commission on Healthcare Professions (ICHP) is a division of CGFNS International. It administers a VisaScreen program, which is a federally approved screening program for foreign healthcare workers seeking occupational visas in the United States. U.S. immigration law requires that healthcare professionals other than physicians complete a screening program in order to qualify for certain occupational visas. VisaScreen enables healthcare professionals to meet this requirement by verifying and evaluating their credentials to ensure that they meet the government’s minimum eligibility standards.
