Exchange Visitor Sponsorship Program In 1974, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) designated ECFMG as the sole visa sponsor of J-1 physicians enrolled in U.S. programs of To learn more about EVSP, visit graduate medical education or training. Te J-1 visa is a temporary www.ecfmg.org/evsp/. nonimmigrant visa reserved for participants in the Exchange Visitor Program, which facilitates educational and cultural exchange among people of the United States and other nations. Te J-1 remains the most common visa ofered to foreign national physicians for participation in U.S. GME. Te rules of participation in the Exchange Visitor Program are defned in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (22 CFR § 62.27). As a DOS-designated J-1 sponsor, ECFMG’s Exchange Visitor Sponsorship Program (EVSP) is required to maintain specifc personal and training data on all J-1 physicians for the duration of their stay in the United States. Annual sponsorship renewal is generally required in conjunction with the GME contract. Te J-1 sponsorship application process requires direct coordination between teaching hospitals, J-1 applicants, and EVSP. Each teaching hospital designates a training program liaison (TPL) to serve as the ofcial representative to communicate with ECFMG on behalf of the J-1 applicants who hold contracts for training at the institution. During the 2014–2015 academic year, ECFMG’s EVSP sponsored 9,206 J-1 physicians for clinical training in U.S. residency and fellowship programs. Te sponsorship of an additional 320 J-1 physicians was extended for the purpose of sitting for American Board of Medical Specialties member specialty board examinations. ECFMG also sponsored 50 physicians in the J-1 “research scholar” category for participation in programs of observation, consultation, teaching, and/or research. Exhibits 9, 10, and 11 provide a profle of the J-1 Exchange Visitor physicians sponsored by ECFMG for the 2014–2015 academic year.
EVSP plays a major role in educating U.S. teaching hospitals, academic medical organizations, and government on the current credential and immigration requirements for foreign national physicians seeking U.S. clinical training positions. Included among these eforts is EVSP’s ongoing training of TPLs. TPLs are required to understand and adhere to all J-1 regulations and EVSP guidelines and procedures. To ensure strict compliance and open communication between ECFMG and TPLs, EVSP ofers learning opportunities for TPLs. Additionally, EVSP maintains ongoing communication with J-1 physicians to advise, assist, and educate them on specifc issues related to their participation in the Exchange Visitor Program. During 2015, EVSP conducted instructional webinars and workshops for TPLs and J-1 physicians and presented at national GME and immigration meetings. 2014–2015 J-1 Physician Fast Facts • J-1 physicians from approximately 130 countries received U.S. training. • Approximately 61% of J-1 physicians were men; 39% were women. • J-1 physicians engaged in training in 49 of the 50 United States, as well as in Puerto Rico. • More than 30% of J-1 physicians were sponsored for internal medicine base residency positions.

Source for Exhibits 9–11: ECFMG database. Data current as of January 29, 2016. Non-Standard Training Update EVSP also sponsors J-1 physicians in non-standard clinical training programs. The term “non-standard training” refers to advanced clinical subspecialty disciplines or training pathways for which neither Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accreditation nor American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) member board certification is available. All non-standard disciplines must be endorsed by the appropriate ABMS member board and be approved by the institution’s Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) in order to be considered for J-1 sponsorship by ECFMG. During 2015, EVSP sponsored 732 J-1 physicians in non-standard programs. Non-standard programs most frequently fall under the specialties of internal medicine, pediatrics, general surgery, and neurology. 22
