Thread: Application question

Hello everyone,
As a student (about to enter fourth year this September) with all pre-requisites completed, I would like to know whether or not it would be a good idea to apply for the January 09 sumester without completing my fourth year (I have completed 96/120 credits). I am positive that medicine is the route I would like to take, and do not see what role my undergraduate degree could play in helping me in the future. Therefore, I would like to get some advice/opinions of students currently attending AUA on my situation.
Thanks so much for your time!

Does that means that peopel who are doping there full core rotation in jackson park hospital are not eligible for applying for residency in newyork ....newyork is avery imp state for residency as lots of residency spots are filled in newyork especially for IMG
I will truly appreciate any one shedding some light on this matter

States which do not scrutinize clinical rotations as long as 3 years of residency are completed
38. Florida
39. Georgia - Georgia is acting weird, with a member of their staff saying that they plan to follow California rules. I haven't personally confirmed this, but I'm working on it.
‐Requires 60 credits of college.
40. Kentucky
41. Maine
‐Must pass Step 3 in three attempts.

Is this still up to date?

no it is not although it is very helpful. for a quick review of EACH state medical board regulation/ provisions for physician licensure - go to www.fsmb.org.

no such thing as automatic approval for Texas even if you are from SGU or Ross.

mississipi just turned their back on the golden state.

georgia regulation is still weird. what does the joint commission have anything to do with clerkship approval?

arkansas - hooray for AUA.

are these states really going to reject someone if they have completed an ACGME approved residency just because they did not do ACGME approved rotations during medical school? If so, what about all the students doing all of their rotations in chicago, where nothing is green except family. Are they all going to be denied licensure in the future?

what about Minnesota?? do you know?

I know this thread is kinda old but I recently emailed NYS Board of Medicine about the green book deal....Here's my email followed by their response

My Email

I am writing to you to inquire about the hospitals I may rotate at during the clinical years of medical school. I have heard different things regarding core and elective rotations and which of these have to be completed at 'Green Book' hospitals, so I was wondering if you could possibly give me New York's policy on which rotations must be completed at Green Book hospitals during the clinical years of medical school. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much,


The Response
With regard to requirements that clinical clerkships be performed under the auspices of an ACGME (Green Book) accredited residency program in New York State we confirm this requirement.
To date, this requirement has not been applied to out-of-state clerkships. We do not make any distinction between core or elective clerkships both must be done as described above.


What does that even mean??? That all of the rotations (both core and elective) must be green book???

Hi there, I know this post is a little old, but I think this is the best place I've found to post this. I am currently a MS3 at Avalon University (caribbean med school) I have completed almost all of my cores as greenbook rotations, and would like to know where I should apply for residency for the 2013 match. I have read the list, and realize that application to residency is different than application for licensure in a state. I'm just wondering which states are typically IMG friendly for residencies and if there is a way to know if my school specifically is taboo in some states or where I will get the "most bang for my buck" when applying for residency. Currently my thoughts are: pennsylvania, ohio, new jersey, new york, florida (I speak spanish so I thought maybe that would give me a little boost), washington state (near where I live), nevada, arizona, delaware, virginia, west virginia, chicago. Can someone give me some advice as to whether I'm on the right track? I have a first-pass, but low step 1 and am getting ready to take step 2, and am applying to family medicine. Trying to play the numbers game here and hopefully I've set myself up to get in somewhere. I'm really not picky so whatever states will take me I'll try for there. Thanks so much for any advice!

PA state law requires that all of you clinical rotations be in ACGME accredited hospitals/rotations in order to complete a residency there. Some residency programs dont require this. Here is one link to a residency program that states these rules

Thank you so much. Clinical rotations meaning cores and electives?
