Vermont considers waivers for all specialties based on community need and shortage designation. In order to be considered for a J-1 waiver request, the
J-1 Visa waiver candidate should obtain a Vermont medical license application directly from the Vermont Board of Medical Practice in order to initiate the application process as soon as the J-1 Visa waiver candidate expresses and interest in seeking employment in Vermont.
Please note: Only opportunities listed on the Vermont site that indicate J-1 acceptance are available to J-1 applicants.
If you are Board Certified or Board Eligible in one of these specialties, you may email your CV to the VT Recruitment Center at: tmckenzie@bistatepca.org and we will contact you with any potential opportunities. All information is kept on our active database and you will be contacted when a site's request matches your background.
