About The Study: Rural regions have benefited from immigration policies that direct international-born physicians to underserved areas; the Conrad 30 waiver enabled thousands of J-1 visa holders to remain in the U.S. in exchange for rural service, caring for approximately 44 million patients. H1-B visas are additional vehicles for immigrant clinicians.
