 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Doctors in our Borders Act

This bill increases the number of Conrad 30 waivers available each year from 30 to 100.

Typically, a J-1 visa holder (nonimmigrant exchange visitor) must leave the United States for two years after finishing the exchange visitor program, including J-1 visa holders who entered the United States to receive graduate medical training. The Conrad 30 waiver program waives this requirement for eligible foreign medical graduates who agree to practice medicine in an underserved area or for an underserved population in the United States.
