Competitive remuneration
The healthcare system in the United States highly values qualified professionals, and dermatologists are no exception.

Just like Brazilians, Americans also love skincare: the American dermatology market is the largest in existence, and its estimated value exceeded 8 billion dollars in 2022.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statisticsthe average annual salary of a dermatologist in the United States is 327 thousand dollars. The sectors with the best average annual salaries for dermatologists are: private medical clinics(338 thousand dollars), general hospitals and surgical centers(274 thousand dollars), and clinics of other health professionals(200 thousand dollars).

Dermatology is one of the highest-paid medical specialties in the US, alongside plastic surgery and cardiology. And if you're a dermatologist in Brazil, you can use your professional experience to immigrate to the United States.
Shortage of doctors in the United States
The United States needs doctors: The American Medical Association estimates that by 2034 the United States will need up to 124,000 new doctors to meet the country's demand. These include 48,000 primary care professionals, 30,000 surgeons, and 13,000 from different medical specialties.
Opportunities in Tennessee
The shortage of doctors in the United States also affects the state's public and private health systems. That's why the Tennessee Senate approved Senate Bill No. 1451 in 2023, which makes it easier for foreign medical graduates to enter the state as of July 2024. And after a few years of medical practice, these professionals will be able to receive a permanent license to practice in the state.
Doctors: High EB-2 NIW Pass Rates
Medicine is an essential sector for the well-being of society, and it takes many years of training to become a specialist doctor. That's why doctors have high approval rates for EB-2 NIW green cards.
