From reading around this forum it seems that if you took a non ACGME accredited rotation in your 3rd or 4th year, you will not be allowed to work in the following States:

California
Texas
Pennsylvania

Am I missing any ?
I understand that the list may change in the future based on what new laws get passed by their legislature.
So far so good. I don't feel particularly drawn to those states anyway.

i just posted a huge thing about cali licensure
ROSS is approved in texas, the only caribbean school actually approved, others can become licensed its just more paperwork
Pennsylvania law is weird. I cant remember it exactly but you can do an AOA approved rotation as long as you meet a minimum number of weeks in ACGME approved. I forgot what that number of weeks is

OKlahoma is one of those states where you have to have all rotations be at least in a ACGME facility.
