Colorado J-1 Visa Waiver Program

About this program

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment offers a J-1 Visa Waiver Program, providing an opportunity for foreign physicians to waive the residency requirement and work in underserved areas of Colorado for three years. This program aims to address the shortage of physicians in specific regions, offering an incentive for medical professionals to serve these communities.

Eligible applicants include primary care and specialty physicians, who must commit to a three-year service period in an approved area. An application fee is required, and there is no specified grant amount, as the program focuses on visa waiver incentives rather than financial support.
