Just some requirements to keep in mind or you might not get the job you want and the waiver you need 2008-03-04 12:36:33 During this time of year, we get many phone calls from physicians that either used a recruiting firm that did not know how to place J1 physicians (some of the largest recruiting firms are NOT the most knowledgeable because their main business is Americans and non visa related placements, also not all Attorneys (even immigration Attorneys) are the [...]
5 Interview Mistakes 2008-02-19 08:46:03 We wanted to list the 5 biggest interview mistakes that our clients have committed. They might sound like common sense, but they happen every day and many of our clients, even after being told and reviewed, still make them. Here are what we consider the 5 biggest interview mistakes:
1) Arriving late - Not only a [...]
Did you take longer than 7 years to complete the USMLE’s? 2008-02-06 14:08:22 Every year there are a number of physicians that contact us that took longet than 7 years to complete
the USMLE’s. Some have valid reasons as far as why it took longer than the 7 years, so do not. But what does this mean and how does it affect you? And what is the 7 [...]
Is it too late to find a J1 waiver job for this year? 2008-02-04 12:43:36 We get many calls this time of year from Residents and Fellows that have not yet secured a position that will lead to their J1 waiver. There are many reasons for this such as waiting to hear from a potential fellowship position, or a job that they thought was going to come through does not. [...]
Could any one give me more ideas 2008-01-31 13:14:12 I am an IMG doing a residency in pediatrics and on a J1 visa in New York. I am in my 2nd year and now I am in confusion whether to search for a wavier job or go for a fellowship. I have heard that getting a wavier job in pediatrics is not so easy. I [...] Read more:ideas
Writing your CV 2008-01-31 11:59:24 We at the J1 Physician Network () review between 10 and 20 CV’s per week. They range from 2 pages to over 30. And these are just from Residents and Fellows that haven’t even had any work experience. There is always a question on what should and should not be included in your CV.
I am [...]
Read this before you give up on that J1 Waiver opportunity! 2008-01-19 08:24:30 Recently we placed a Surgeon that was on a J1 visa. He did not do a residency in the US and would never be board eligible, but did complete 3 fellowships and excelled in them all. He was offered a contract with a facility. His pay was 20% above the prevailing wage, he was offered [...]
Check out your attorney BEFORE hiring 2008-01-17 13:20:36 We work almost exclusivly with 2 attorneys. We know them well, they have a great track record and give great customer service to their clients. They are available even after hours and you dont always have to talk to a para legal. We also work with many other good ones (especially if the facility pays [...] Read more:Check
J1 Physicians are not Slaves 2008-01-17 07:49:25 Here is a recent article that we found from Nevada: -doctors-how-it-happens-j-1-doctors-must/ . Every physician seeking a J1 waiver should read this and make sure it doesnt happen to them. The J1 Physician Network insures that this never happens to its clients and there are steps to take to insure that this does not happen:
1. Only work [...]
J1 vs H1B - It’s not always straight forward 2008-03-21 16:04:39 Some IMG’s come into the country on an H1B visa rather than a J1. This loophole is being examined by the Federal Government and will probably be changed so that all IMG’s will have the 3 year requirement in Underserved Area’s no matter what visa you would come in on if you want to get [...] Read more:always

Be honest when not accepting a job 2008-04-15 12:08:53 Within the last 3 weeks, we had something happen that happens too often. A physician contacted us and was in a predicament. Her fellowship did not come through, and her program ended in August and she needed a job and a waiver. She was a family practice physician. She had not even gotten her State [...] Read more:honest
Rudeness gets you nowhere and a Contract is not an waiver or change in visa 2008-04-18 08:52:38 We try to get out as much information as possible to help you in your job search. As a physician on a J1 it can be very difficult and sometimes daunting. We have given examples of real life experiences so our readers can see maybe a different perspective and hopefully can learn and be helped [...]
What you should expect from a physician recruiter 2008-05-16 09:01:12 It is that time of year again that residents and fellows that will be finishing in 2009 are contacting us in droves. We probably get over 100 phone calls and emails a week from physicians in every specialty and sub specialty. The J1 Physician Network takes on a limited number of clients at any one [...] Read more:recruiter
