What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Doctors in our Borders Act," aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act. The primary goal is to change the limit on the number of physicians who can receive Conrad 30 waivers. Currently, the limit is set to not exceed 30, but this legislation proposes increasing that number. By making this change, the bill seeks to allow more physicians to be provided these specific waivers.
