Immigrants, in particular, face barriers and difficulties in obtaining continuous medical care, which negatively impacts both patients and clinicians. The AMA Code of Medical Ethics offers guidance on how physicians and health care systems can best support undocumented and lawfully present immigrants alike to promote the best possible care for all who need it
