Do you need green book core rotations to get licensed in Mic

i havent been able to get a straight answer on this. thanks

Yes, they require green cores. I’m positive about Florida and almost positive about Michigan.

FLORIDA
The Florida website, http://fac.dos.state.fl.us/faconline/chapter64.pdf , p267 of 1468, states that they require medicine, surgery, obstetrics-gynecology, and pediatrics, and they require them to be green. I spoke with two reps from the state, on different occasions, and they both confirmed this.

64B8-4.018 International Medical Graduates; Qualification Requirements.
(1) Before any graduate of a medical school not accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, except a graduate of an accredited school in Canada, is admitted to take the written licensure examination or be licensed by endorsement, he or she
must demonstrate that the core clerkships received in the United States as a part of the curriculum of the medical school was obtained either in a hospital affiliated with a medical school accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and the
affiliation includes the provision of core clerkship training for that medical school in the relevant subject area or in a hospital which had, at the time the clerkship training was obtained, a residency program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate
Medical Education in the specialty area in which the clinical training was being obtained.
(2) For purposes of this rule, the term “core clerkships” means core rotations in medicine, surgery, obstetrics-gynecology, and pediatrics. Each clerkship must be equivalent in duration and substance to the core clerkships offered by the medical school to itsregular students.
(3) An applicant to whom the provisions of subsection (1) would otherwise be applicable may be admitted to take the written licensure examination or be licensed by endorsement if he or she demonstrates one of the following:
(a) That, after receipt of the medical degree, he or she obtained core clerkship training in the United States in the specific areas of core rotations which had not met the requirements of subsection (1), which training was obtained either in a hospital affiliated
with a medical school accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and the affiliation included the provision of core clerkship training for that medical school in the relevant subject specialty area or in a hospital which had, at the time the clerkship
training was obtained, a residency program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education in the specialty area in which the clinical training was being obtained.

I could not absolutely find out if they require all cores to be green, but I strongly believe they do from what I’ve found on their site and what I’ve been told from my school. Since you’re interested in Michigan, a phone call to the state would probably clarify this. The Michigan website, http://www.michigan.gov/documents/cis_fhs_bhser_mdfullpkt_75018_7.pdf , p14 of 16, asks if each of your cores, internal medicine, general surgery, obstetrics-gynecology, pediatrics, and psychiatry, were done in a teaching hospital.

Hope this helps.
Peace,

what are green cores...im new to this

[julestx]

Green Book cores are those rotations that are done in teaching facilities where a residency program is offered in that area. So in a green book surgery core, you'll be in an area where there are residents, and its accredited by the ACGME. You can search for "green book" rotations (electives or cores) at www.acgme.org/adspublic , click on search by "sponsor" and you can select the State you're interested in, then select the hospital, and view all their "green book" rotations - or ACGME approved residencies.

Also, try this search which is quite good: http://www.ama-assn.org/vapp/freida/srch/ . You can select the specialty, location, etc.

Its recommended that all rotations be "green book", unless you KNOW which State you want to be licensed in, and they do not require this. If you're unsure, its better to arrange for all electives to be done in areas where there is a residency in that specific rotation.

I have both MI and FL licenses,yes core must be taken in hospital with residency in the area of rotation

[idaman911]

so green cores allow me to view my state and when i finish my 5th semester, re-enter that states and perform my cllinicals there? in the specified hospital...

I aim to go to Ohio or Michigan....

[etomidate]

If you read the rest of the florida statute, they waive the greenbook core requirement if you have completed three years of residency in ONE specialty.

[ZAATARI]

Do not relay on one state,I planned to practice in Florida for the rest of my career but with no claims and perfect records I was paying $50.000 for malplractice insurance so I left,my current state never asked about clerkships,but regardless where you want to go you MUST do all rotations in greenbook otherwise it will be considered "shadowing another doctor".
DO ALL YOUR ROTATIONS IN A HOSPITAL WITH RESIDENCY IN THE CORE ROTATION,otherwise you will run into trouble sooner or later.
