states that follow CA list - updated 2008

[wcb22]

so the CA list grows, like an ugly monster. but for any newcomers to the forum, here are the states if you would like to know who follow the CA list.

CA, because it's their list
VT
AK (that's alaska btw, added last year)
AR (newly added)
ND (added last year)
TN
NV (they might follow the list more as a guideline)
NM (they allow reciprocity after being licensed, with a clean record, for 3 years in another state).

i went to a CA unapproved school, and the list was about 4 states long when i started med school back in 2004. it's now 2008, with around 8 states that follow the list.

there are other states that do not use the CA list, who are still IMG unfriendly typically, i.e.,

TX
CO
ID
OR
others

some states have their own lists, like OR and MI have lists of unapproved schools.

some states will nail you if your rotations weren't all green book, or at least your core rotations weren't all greenbook (OR, OK, TX, PA, others).

one reason i keep up with this forum is to stay informed about state licensure issues. it's important to know where you can/cannot practice one day.

NV (they might follow the list more as a guideline)




for NV, you automatically have to appear before the board for going to a "questionable" school (by CA standards)

that doesn't mean you'll get denied. you might get a restricted license.
