Many international medical graduates come to the United States under a J-1 visa to pursue medical education, training, or a fellowship program. In most cases, the J-1 medical graduate will be subject to a two-year residency requirement if the program was financed by the U.S. government or if their country is designated by the U.S. Department of State as requiring services of certain skills.
