Practicing ANY where in States?

[ASMA @]

Hi all,
This seems to be a big question, consider a scenario:
If you graduate from a Carib. School, passed USMLE 1 and 2. Passed CSA. Completed residency (lets say in Chicago, IL)
If you get a job offer from Cali. (Hypothetically speaking) My question is can you practice there? Or say in Texas, or in NY. Where the school is not approved.
This approval issue, is this for clinical rotation or for practicing after ECFMG certification.
Responses from practicing grads would be greatly appreciated.

Do a search on this forum its been addressed a few times.

CALIFORNIA... currently: NO.. in other words that means NEVER...
u JUST CANT DO IT no matter if u score perfect on the boards and win the nobel prize, those are the rules, and at this time there are NO GUARANTEES that you will be able to practice there at some later date.. even if the school is approved by the state of california in the future... its possible that the school is approved but not approved for the period of time that you attended..

If you are interested in California then you need to consider california approved schools.. not schools that will hypothetically be approved in the future..

Texas - case by case basis, means maybe yes or maybe no, depending on if u meet all their requirements as far as clinicals etc..

NY: if u complete residency outside of NY (ie Chicago) then YES u can get ur perm license. NY approval issue is for clinical rotations and for residency in NY. After residency in another state its not an issue.

I guess I dont know much about this issue, but from what I have heard from few grads is that if the school is not approved by a state, you cannot do a clinical rotation there. However, you are welcome to do a residency any any state you wish to depending on the step II score.

I am not sure how true this is, so any clarifications would be greatly appreciated.

no you cant make gross generalizations like that, each individual state has its own set of rules regarding medical practice and licensure

In texas Residency can done, and for licensing please click on the following link to read rules:

I think since a rule said that school shouldn't be rejected by any state for the license... so MUA is not rejected by any state yet, and I think once down the road after getting CA approval MUA can automatically get approved for license. As per my understanding school don't need to apply to get approval in texas like CA.

dont bank on future approvals when considering your options because u set urself up for disapointment..

look up licensure requirements based on current status...

what about nj?

In the interview, I remember them telling me that New Jersey currently does not have any rotation sites, which surprised me because New York has.

Mua is still approved by all states except for 5, which is really good compared to few other school out there.

[studentMD]

i wouldnt used the word "approved", because that implies some sort of evaluation process.. most states dont have a formal process approving/disapproving schools, they license physicians based on individual applications on a case by case basis and licensure is granted if u meet all their specific requirements whatever they may be...

[almostfamous]

ive called a few state boards and no one has told me for sure if mua grads will be approved. i think it may because they are not familiar with the school because the number of students in each class are small compared to ross sgu and auc...i just want to know if i will be able to practice in nj...i know i can do residency there....and if ill be able to practice in ny...well let me rephrase that...if i will have a good chance of practicing there....

[studentMD]

if u meet all the requirements .. like u would have to graduating from any yother school..
u can get licensed in ny..

That is a fact, but we can not wait to hear from them in a couple of weeks. Because lot of students cannot wait to start their rotation (core/elective) in New York owing to family committment.
