I’ve just read an interesting article about the latest report issued on Feb 2nd, 2011 by the Commonwealth Fund. On the State Scorecard on Child Health System Performance, Nevada ranks last – behind 49 states and the District of Columbia.
The lack of healthcare provided in that state is quite shocking. With so many Nevadans enrolled in the free health care program for the poor, disabled, handicapped and elderly, the present system is overloaded. Of course, as the recession continues, the numbers of poor patients grows day by day. One of the main reasons for the poor health care score is a severe shortage of doctors in Nevada.
Dr. Tracy Green, the Nevada State Health Officer said she hopes to attract more foreign doctors to the state through the J-1 visa waiver program. The Conrad 30 J1 waiver program allows J1 physicians to remain and work in under served, often rural, areas.
These efforts of attracting more international doctors open up new possibilities for international medical graduates, who don’t want to leave the US after having finished their medical training. If you are interested to get more details about the health care conditions for children in the State of Nevada, here is the link to the full article.
The application process for a J1 visa waiver is somewhat complicated. An experienced immigration attorney focusing on J1 waivers can help you through the process and make sure that no errors are made.
