Dear Official(s),

As a constituent I would like to thank you for passing SB 124, a bill that will improve Nevada’s licensing structure for foreign-trained physicians and expand access to quality healthcare for residents across the state.
SB 124 introduces several key reforms, making Nevada a more attractive state for qualified international medical professionals. Specifically, this bill:
- Creates an expedited licensure pathway for qualified foreign-trained physicians who have graduated from medical schools and training programs that are equivalent to those in the United States.
- Allows qualified foreign-trained physicians to practice on limited licenses under the supervision of fully licensed physicians in health care facilities with residency programs.
- Grants limited license holders a full, unrestricted license to practice medicine after two years of supervised practice.
These reforms will make Nevada’s foreign physician license more desirable, helping to attract and retain skilled medical professionals. By making it easier for foreign-trained doctors to practice in our state, SB 124 will help alleviate physician shortages and improve access to care for Washington residents, particularly in underserved communities.
Your support of SB 124 will see Nevada reduce bureaucratic red tape, increase healthcare access, and ensure Washington remains a leader in welcoming qualified medical professionals.
Thank you,

Nevada is facing a critical shortage of physicians that is intensifying due to an aging workforce, growing population, and overburdensome licensure requirements. This shortage of providers is affecting our state, with over 947,000 residents living in a health professional shortage area. To begin addressing this shortage of providers, qualified foreign physicians that have been trained in comparable programs outside of the United States must be given a reasonable pathway to licensure as a physician in the state. The solution is coming soon with the passage of SB 124 that creates the pathway for qualified foreign physicians to practice. Sign the letter to your lawmaker to thank them for acting swiftly to pass SB124.
