Conrad State 30 and Physician Access Reauthorization Act reauthorizes incentives for physicians to practice in underserved areas.

The Conrad State 30 and Physician Access Reauthorization Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to extend the Conrad State 30 J-1 Visa Waiver Program, which allows physicians from abroad to work in the U.S. without the two-year foreign residency requirement. The bill also modifies the program's requirements, including the five-year service obligation, employment protections, and contract stipulations for physicians. It further clarifies the allotment of waivers for states and introduces provisions for retaining physicians in medically underserved communities.
