How about allowing students from all schools to practice in Texas as long as they meet the state usmle requirements and are licensed in another state. I'd rather have a doc from a lesser known carib school who passed all his exams on the first try and became licensed in another state etc, rather than a guy who took 7 attempts to pass step 1.More evidence to point to the fact that most of the people in charge of licensing have no clue as to what is going on.
