J-1 visa waiver programs
International medical graduates completing a U.S. residency program on a J-1 (educational) visa often seek opportunities that qualify for J-1 Visa Waiver sponsorship where a physician works at least three years for an eligible employer in an underserved community. Healthcare facilities find recruiting an international medical graduate an excellent strategy for filling long standing physician vacancies.
