How does a health care facility or site apply for the Louisiana J-1 Visa Waiver Program?
A health care facility or site interested in hiring a J-1 visa waiver physician must submit a written site application to the Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) Bureau of Primary Care and Rural Health (BPCRH) for a predetermination of site eligibility prior to or during the recruitment of a physician. The J-1 visa waiver physician site application is available on the BPCRHs Web site under Recruitment Services, or by contacting Gerrelda Davis at 225-342-1583 or gdavis@dhh.la.gov . NOTE: A site approval should be obtained before recruitment begins to prevent confusion regarding site eligibility.
