Doctors in our Borders Act

This legislation proposes to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to significantly expand the availability of Conrad 30 waivers for physicians. Currently, each state is limited to recommending 30 international medical graduates for waivers from the two-year home residency requirement, which allows them to remain in the U.S. and practice in underserved areas. The bill specifically revises section 214(l)(1)(B) of the Act, changing the maximum number of waivers a state can recommend annually from 30 to 100 . This substantial increase aims to allow a greater number of foreign physicians to fulfill their service obligations and address healthcare shortages in designated areas within the United States.
