Free. No account needed.
Two roads in
Most physicians take the residency road. A newer road exists for those with years of practice, in some states.
The residency path
ECFMG certification, the USMLE Steps, US clinical experience, ERAS and the Match. The road most traveled, open to every IMG.
The state license laws
A growing group of states now licenses experienced foreign physicians without repeating residency. Powerful, recent, and full of conditions worth reading twice.
