Hey, I am a bit comfused about this. Does this mean that if a school is not on ny approved list I can still get a residency and a permanent license in NY as long as I don't do more than 12 weeks of clinical rotations in NY? Can you show me where you are getting this from (your source). Thanks.

sorry for the late reply! the impression i have is that if you go ahead and do residency in NY (you are not on the approved list)...then you have problem with licensure. i can research into this more deeply. But i emailed the lady in NY that deals with clinical "registration" and that is the impression she gave me

not on list....only 12 weeks of clinicals allowed
if you do more than that amount of rotation outside the home country of your school....cannot do residency there & get licensed, that is what she said (but if you only do 12 weeks & do not do residency in NY, then after NY licensure is not a problem)
she had given me the email or phone number of the body that controls the residency part...never got around to digging b/c other stuff came up

the part i am speculating about...people do do residency there even if they do more than 12 weeks out of home country rotations....speculation: you might not get a license...maybe one "slips through the cracks" b.c you do not need resident's license in NY (once again I am not sure about this) (this last paragraph is pure speculation), so once you want to go to NY as a full doctor...you might have problem...got to get to the bottom of this

would be to work for a veterans administration hospitals. that will grant you 50 state licensure. so that is one option to get around the complicated rules and regulations for tough states like new york.
