Support of HB996
 

As a student who has conducted research with many of the refugee physicians in the DMV area, I support and commend the passage of this bill and the advocacy of the Refugee Physician Advocacy Coalition. Thank you for such thoughtful work on the bill's implementation. I look forward to working with many of these skilled physicians in the future. The state of VA would be privileged to benefit from their service.
