We are incredibly encouraged to see leaders like Senator Rebecca Saldaña supporting responsible solutions to help address physician shortages in Washington State.
Senator Rebecca Saldaña was the first lawmaker in the nation to help introduce legislation supporting alternative licensure pathways for internationally trained doctors, helping spark a movement that is now expanding across the United States.
Alternative licensure pathways are not about lowering standards. They are about creating structured, supervised opportunities for qualified doctors already living in the United States to continue serving patients and communities that need care.
At WeAreDocs, we are proud to work alongside healthcare organizations, employer partners, state medical boards, and legislators who recognize that expanding access to care also means better utilizing experienced doctors already here.
Washington continues to lead important conversations around workforce innovation and healthcare access, and we are grateful for leaders willing to engage in these discussions.
Thank you, Senator Rebecca Saldaña, for your leadership, vision, and commitment to strengthening healthcare access across Washington.
Together, we can build more pathways, create more opportunities, and bring more doctors back to patient care.
