yes this is correct. i believe kansas is the only state which is a current no no, but come 15 years in existence, kansas licensure will be no problem. but does anyone know if grads that start before the school has been around for 15 years will be granted licensure later on?

?!?

I'm sorry, but I doubt Kansas really matters to most. I've been there, only for a few days and I left hoping to never go back. I want to stay on the east coast. Know of any problems with east coast states? Specifically Virginia on up north. Whats the deal with NJ? No clinicals there? Can we get licensed there? I just remember reading something about that previously.

Did you complete the pre reqs at an American school? We had a student transfer in from Pakistan, but I think she basically had to start over. How far into med school are you there?

Recently a 5th semester student from Kansas told me that Saba grads can now get licensed there as the school is now old enough. Does anybody know anything about that? Or maybe we just have to wait for a Saba grad to apply and get licensed to find out?

update: yes, we can get licensed in Kansas now

Does anyone know anything about Saba being accredited in Minnesota? I know some individuals have done their residencies at Mayo, which is where I am working right now. I would like to work here when I am done with medical school.

yes, I think we have to wait for a grad to apply and then we will find out! I think it might be a case by case scenario. I know Indiana is case by case for Saba.

The following is the requirment for licensure in MN, I got it from the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice website. For further info, check out the MN medical board website or give them a call.
http://www.state.mn.us/portal/mn/jsp/home.do?agency=BMP

International Graduate Requirements
1. Graduate of a medical school listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools.
2. Successfully complete two years of US/Canadian graduate, clinical medical training in an accredited program unless:
a) admitted as a permanent immigrant to the United States as a person of exceptional ability in sciences pursuant to rules of the U.S. Department of Labor, or
b) issued a permanent immigrant visa as a person of extraordinary ability or as an outstanding professor or researcher and has a valid medical license in another country; or
c) licensed in another state and practiced 5 years without disciplinary action in the US/Canada, completed one year US/Canadian accredited training and passed SPEX within three attempts in 24 months prior to licensing.
3. ECFMG certificate.
4. Successfully complete the USMLE, FLEX, LMCC or state exam. Applicants licensed in another state must pass the SPEX exam within three attempts if it has been more than 10 years since taking the initial licensing exam unless currently certified by a specialty board of the American Board of Medical Specialties, of the American Osteopathic Association Bureau of Professional Education, of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, or of the College of Family Physicians of Canada.
