The Pennsylvania J-1 Visa Waiver Program offers a J-1 Visa waiver to foreign physicians who commit to serving for 3 years in an underserved area of Pennsylvania, waiving the foreign medical residency requirement and allowing them to remain in the United States. The program is intended to provide physician services in areas that typically have difficulty attracting and retaining physicians.
Primary care physicians, psychiatrists, and sub-specialty trained physicians are eligible to apply.
The first priority is primary care physicians in outpatient ambulatory care sites, including:
- Family practice
- General internal medicine
- Pediatrics
- Obstetrics/gynecology
- Psychiatry
This is an incentive program that offers foreign physicians a visa waiver, allowing them to work in the U.S.
Links to program policies and an application checklist are available on the program website.
Completed applications should be mailed to:
