Wyoming Conrad 30 J-1 Visa Waiver Program
PURPOSE
This report describes Wyoming’s Conrad 30 J-1 Visa Waiver Program from the fiscal year 2008 to June 1, 2019. The report tells the program’s story, identifies previous successes and challenges, and recommends future steps toward enhancing the program. These recommendations are an analysis of the demographics and job site characteristics of previous J-1 Waiver recipients and information on the retention of these physicians past their obligation. As Wyoming works to increase the number of waivers it sponsors per year, describing the past is the first critical step toward moving into the future.
