J-1 Visa Waiver Programs
State J-1 Visa Waiver Program
The Washington State Department of Health administers the J-1 Physician Visa Waiver Program. The goal of the program is to increase the number of physicians available to work in rural and underserved areas of the state. The program is considered a secondary tool in recruitment, used when efforts to recruit a U.S. trained physician have been unsuccessful.
Washington State will begin accepting applications for fiscal year 2020 on October 1, 2019. Thirty waivers are currently available.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services J-1 Visa Waiver Program
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) sponsors international primary care physicians to work in rural health clinics (RHCs), federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and tribal clinics. RHCs and FQHCs in Washington are encouraged to use the HHS program when the physician and practice site meet the federal program criteria.
