MEDICINE -- Amends existing law to establish terms for a provisional license to practice medicine for graduates of medical schools located outside of the United States and Canada.

MEDICINE

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

This bill expands Idaho's licensure program for internationally-trained physicians. It creates a pathway to licensure for high-quality, international physicians who have attended a recognized medical school and have already completed a residency or other post-graduate training. To qualify, physicians must have a job offer from an Idaho healthcare provider and must have practiced abroad or have experience in the U.S. medical system. After three years of successful practice under a provisional license, an international physician will be eligible to apply for a full license.
