Education Requirements
To satisfy the education requirements for licensure as a physician, you must present evidence of both A and B below. - Preprofessional Education: Satisfactory completion of 60 semester hours of college study from a New York State registered program or the equivalent as determined by the New York State Education Department.
- Professional Education:
- Graduates of Registered or Accredited Medical Programs Satisfactory completion of a medical program registered by the New York State Education Department as licensure-qualifying* or accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) or the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and have received the degree of Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Osteopathy, or the equivalent.
*Does not include schools outside the U.S. that have received Department approval solely to contract for medical clinical experiences (clerkships) in New York State.
- Graduates of Non-accredited Medical Programs Satisfactory completion of the following:
- A curriculum of not less than 32 months (4 academic years) in a medical program recognized as an acceptable educational program for physicians by the appropriate civil authorities of the country in which the school is located and receipt of the degree of Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Osteopathy, or the equivalent as determined by the Department. You must complete the final year of medical education at the school that awarded you the degree.
- A satisfactory proficiency examination. Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) certification will satisfy this requirement.
PLEASE DON'T BE OBLIVIOUS TO THE FACTS |
This might be true for New York, but the states I have checked do not require it, and also same for Ontario, so its all good. Also, the requirements might be different for IMG's and that is not clear whether the 60 credits is for IMG's or US/Candians' . Going from high school to medical school does not exist only in few uncommon places, there are tons of students doing it (even in the US) and are having no problems at getting residency, so I'm not going to be considering this.
