Great Post By Sree Cheruku
Hopefully it sheds light on licensing issues....and states you have questions about. Arkansas uses the CA list now.
I've been doing some research on state requirements and have not yet seen a state that requires a Bachelor's degree.
I've been meaning to post this stuff for a while, but I'm lost in Step 2 study right now.
Here's my preliminary list. Not extensively fact-checked yet.
States with weird rules
1. Kansas
‐Medical school has to be in existence for 15 years before licensure is granted.
‐This rule does not apply to residency applicants.
2. New Jersey
‐At least four weeks of each core rotation has to be Greenbook.
‐No clinical rotations possible in state for foreign schools except SGU and Ross.
3. New York
‐60 credits of college required
‐Only the core rotations done within New York State have to be Greenbook.
‐Letter of Eligibility required before participating in clinical rotations
‐Special permission from the board required before participating in away electives.
‐Only 12 weeks of away electives permitted – all must be Greenbook.
4. Nevada
‐Technically, AUA students cannot be licensed here because they follow the California
list, but if you have all greenbook cores and greenbook electives, you can appear before
the board and plead your case.
Restricted States
5. California
‐AUA is not California approved, so graduates cannot complete residency or be licensed
here. California approval is generally not completely retroactive, though it can reach
back a few years, as in Saba’s case.
6. Alaska
‐Follows the California list. AUA students cannot be licensed here.
7. Tennessee
‐Follows the California list. AUA students cannot be licensed here.
States requiring all Greenbook rotations (cores and electives)
8. Delaware
9. Texas
‐Schools which are on the Texas list (SGU and Ross) have automatic licensure approval.
Schools which are on the California disapproval list (SMU) have automatic licensure
disapproval.
‐AUA is on neither list, so you must plead your case before the board individually.
‐Requires 60 college credits
‐Texas no longer requires students to complete an elective rotation in neurology
10. Pennsylvania
-They don't like DO rotations

16. Oklahoma
