DRA encourages applicants and those interested in the Delta Doctors program to utilize the federal and state resources to identify opportunities for placement and build a network that will support you in finding a placement.
Conrad 30
Administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Conrad 30 Waiver Program allows J-1 foreign medical graduates (FMGs) to apply for a waiver of the two-year foreign residence requirement upon completion of the J-1 exchange visitor program. See section 214(l) of the Immigration Nationality Act (INA). The program addresses the shortage of qualified doctors in medically underserved areas.
