Bill > HR1201

This bill aims to increase the number of Conrad 30 waivers available for foreign physicians working in the United States. Conrad 30 waivers are a special immigration provision that allows foreign medical graduates who completed their medical training in the U.S. to remain in the country and work in underserved areas, typically in rural or medically underserved communities, despite the usual requirement to return to their home country for two years after completing their training. Currently, each state is limited to 30 such waivers per year, and this legislation would raise that cap to 100 waivers per state annually. By increasing the number of available waivers, the bill seeks to address physician shortages in areas with limited healthcare access, potentially improving medical service availability for communities that struggle to attract and retain healthcare professionals.
