Health Occupations - Physicians Trained in Foreign Countries - Exemption From Educational Requirements and Limited License
Third Reading Passed with Amendments (128-9) (House)
Summary
The bill lets physicians who graduated from an international medical school and completed two years of accredited postgraduate training be exempt from certain state education requirements. Those doctors can receive a Maryland license that permits practice only during their first license term and only under board‑mandated supervision. The change aims to expand the physician pool while maintaining oversight.
