Psychiatric Hospitals in the U.S. That Offer H-1B Visas

One option for foreign professionals to work in the United States is to find an employer who will sponsor them for a H-1B visa. This visa is available to skilled professionals with college degrees. The dual-intent visa, which allows you to apply for a green card while on H-1B status, permits you to work temporarily in the United States. Some leading psychiatry hospitals, such as the Massachusetts General Hospital, are open to hiring foreign professionals on H-1B status.

    • The Massachusetts General Hospital offers internships that allow new medical graduates to hone their skills. The internships emphasize the diagnosis and treatment of patients who are seriously ill. This includes neurologically disordered patients. The Boston-based Massachusetts General Hospital's Adult Psychiatry Residency Program sponsors H-1B visas for international medical graduates. "Clinical experience in the United States is preferred, as well as solid passing scores on exams," according to the program information.

    Kaseman Hospital

    • The Kaseman Hospital Behavioral Health Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a multi-specialty group with an established behavioral health group. Kaseman Hospital is affiliated with Presbyterian Healthcare Services, a large integrated health care system in New Mexico. The Kaseman Behavioral Health Center includes two adult psychiatry units with a total of 30 beds, and a child-adolescent unit with 14 beds. The Kaseman Hopsital BHS accepts applications from H-1B candidates for certain psychiatrist job openings, such as adult psychiatrists to work with inpatients.

    University of Pittsburgh, Department of Psychiatry

    • This university-based psychiatry program offers a good balance between clinical and research training for residents, as well as access to specialized inpatient and outpatient services. The program offers H-1B sponsorship to foreign doctors on a case-by-case basis. While the program does not require U.S. clinical experience of foreign applicants, any such experience would be viewed as advantageous, as with any U.S. research and academic experience.
