Thread: New Jersey...

Does anyone know if you need 60 or 90 undergrad credits to practice in NJ ? I looked on the NJ Board of Medical Examiners website but i couldn't find anything on the topic.. is there somewhere else I should look?

60

Item 10 - Pre-Medical Education (page 2 of Application for Licensure by the State Board of Medical Examiners of New Jersey)

"New Jersey law requires that every applicant for medical license demonstrate that he or she took, passed and received credit for a mimimum of 60 (sixty) post-secondary, college level or equivalent credits prior to commencing medical school. Every applicant must demonstrate that he or she passed at least one three-credit college level course each in biology, chemistry and physics."...

Since NJ doesn't have this on the web I called and asked them to mail me the application.

apparently you need 60 lol

thanks, that was really helpful!
