Many physicians are contacting us to ascertain whether states have availability for their Conrad 30 programs.  Although some popular J1 Waiver Conrad 30 programs are no longer accepting applications including Texas and New York, many states are accepting applications for their J1 waiver programs.  Pennsylvania is currently accepting Conrad 30 J1 Waiver applications;  however, Pennsylvania may no longer have availability for their Conrad 30 program within the next two months.  On December 14, 2008 California had availability for 10 more Conrad 30 slots.  California has revised its Specialist policy and may accept applications on March 1, 2009 if the aforementioned primary care slots are not utilized.  Many states throughout the Midwest, Northeast and Northwest have availability for their J1 Waiver Conrad 30 Programs.  For instance, Maine has received one application and Washington has received 20 applications.  If you have questions about a particular state’s Conrad 30 J1 Waiver Program call our office at 415-986-6186.
