Michigan J-1 Visa Waiver Program

About this program

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services administers the Michigan State 30 J-1 Visa Waiver Program, which enables eligible foreign physicians to remain in the United States in exchange for a three-year service commitment in an underserved Michigan community. The program is an incentive rather than a direct funding award and follows an annual application cycle that typically closes on the first business day of November; the listed opportunity is currently inactive. Primary care physicians, hospitalists, and specialists may apply, with priority for providers serving Health Professional Shortage Areas, rural and safety-net facilities, and high-need specialties such as family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, and psychiatry.
