Missouri J-1 Visa Waiver Program

About this program

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services and Missouri Office of Rural Health offer the Conrad 30 J-1 Visa Waiver Program to help foreign physicians remain in the United States while providing three years of service in approved underserved Missouri communities. The incentive addresses physician shortages, with priority given to primary care specialties including family medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, internal medicine, and psychiatry. Applicants must be foreign physicians subject to the J-1 residency requirement and commit to serving in an approved area, typically a federally designated Health Professional Shortage Area; other specialties may be considered if slots remain. Applications are generally accepted annually from October 1 through October 31, although the listed opportunity is currently inactive.
