Updates to List of Tests and Scores for Foreign Health Care Workers

Based on current laws and requirements, we have updated the list of tests and scores for foreign health care workers. This applies to those seeking to enter the United States to work in specific health professions to ensure English language proficiency.

The Office of Global Health (OGH) provides leadership and policy development. We help guide global engagements and solutions to improve health outcomes in the United States and worldwide. We are one of several Health and Human Services (HHS) Operating Divisions carrying out the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
