Immigration Bill to Include Visa Incentives for Foreign Doctors to Fill Shortage

Will have to work in areas designated as underserved

The immigration bill might have a partial solution to the doctor shortage in underserved areas: import them.

Or more precisely, make it easier for foreign physicians who come to the U.S. for their medical residencies to stay on after their training — if they'll then serve three years where they are most needed.
