why not? .....

I have spoke to the Florida Board of Medicine, and you are correct with Florida residency...and you can also go for licensure in Florida after 2 years. Even if you do your residency in another state, you can still go for licensure after 2 years. There is no reciprocity to deal with.

If you call the Florida Board of Medicine, they will probably say something like I never heard of that, no that's not true, and they will tell you what is true.


Clinical rotations require your International Medical School to be approved in Florida, but they do allow occasional rotations with the proper paperwork.

Someone find out something about Texas because I have been thinking about going to med school here and Ive either wanted to work in texas or in chicago so find out about it please.

can any one please advise me as what are the first phone interview questions are about thanks

This is to the person from admissions:

Are there still spots left for the class that begins in MAY 2007? What about Sept 2007? (For the 4.5 year MD Program)

Does Xavier have an age limit for applicants (no one older than 35?). I can't get a reply from Xavier, does anyone out there know?

Yes, we do have seats available for the may semester, but you are really at the end of the alloted time to submitt docuemts. There must still be an interview, package mailed to you containing your presumable placement, immigration documents submitted to us, and then our submission of your docs to the Immigration Dept.
Please submit any applications and supporting documents by the end of next week.

We do not have any age limit, and speaking of which I talk to at least a handfull of non-traditional students each week who apply and are well like by mysef and the Admissions Committee.

We always ask that you as a student call the state boards that you wish to perform any medical education and/or residency in to confirm for yourself the rules and regulations. This helps alleviate the situation where students hear information but never confirm the source.

My understanding of Texas, per Denise Meyer of the Board and their website, is that you can do residency in Texas, under a training permit. Licensure would be on a case by case basis. Realistically I do not believe it would happen. Texas does not have a specific list, only a list of schools that do not have to prove their program is "equivalent" to that of a Texas school. Furthermore, I believe you cannot do any rotation in Texas as a foreign student and become licensed. I believe this is correct, but let me check with her again and post. Hope this helped.

I know that a student from a European program (English) not approved by Cali at this time, is doing residency or recently completed a FP residency at Baylor in Texas. I do not remember the school but I am sure this is true.
