so what is it about practicing in the 50 states? So Saba graduates can practice in Texas, even though they aren't approved?

Will some one kindly correct me if I'm wrong

Is that true that maximum trouble Saba graduates can have is to jump some extra hoops in few states to qualify for license. But virtually all states will allow Saba grads to practice medicine. Do Saba grads will have a green book issue in some states and they won't be able to get a license?

Do you guys agree with my statement above.

Thanks very much.

Sincerely,

MDPWR.

In Texas you just have to fill out extra forms and I would imagine it would be the same in many other states. You also have to keep rotations "green".

Thanks so it's a must to have green book rotation in order to get a chance to practice in all 50 states.

Man thats no good news as Saba don't have all green book.

I'm so confused with this whole green book issue, I've red a lot about this issue and still not exactly sure that is it MUST to have all green book from Saba to get practice in all 50 states.

Many thanks.

Many states require just your cores to be green (IM, surgery, FP, pysch, peds and ob/gyn). I believe only PA requires all electives to be green. In Texas, if the medical education is less than 130 weeks, all rotations up until the 130 week mark need to be green. I've posted the Texas information previously with their form (Form J) explaining it.

I still dont understand why people want to practise in 50 states. I think the major ones are enough. Most people remain in one state throughout their practise.

Maybe because you never know where you'll get residency at, which might be different from where you practice at.

i see. Makes sense

Conclusion: If you go to Saba you will be able to practice in all 50 states.

Hope I'm right on this one.

MDPWR.

Yeah, just keep clinicals green just to be safe. Oh and avoid being arrested or ticketed for anything besides a traffic violation... at least until you get off the island.
