Summary
The Conrad 30 Physician Workforce Optimization Act raises the number of flex waivers each state can grant to J‑1 physicians from 10 to 15. It also requires USCIS to set up an online portal where alien physicians who missed a waiver can be listed for states or employers that still have open slots. The goal is to improve placement of international medical graduates in underserved areas.
