Bill > SB489

This bill modifies existing Maryland law concerning physician licensing to create an exemption from certain educational requirements for applicants who have completed two years of postgraduate medical education training accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-International (ACGME-I) or another accrediting organization recognized by the Board, provided they submit acceptable evidence of this training. Importantly, physicians who qualify for this exemption based on their international postgraduate training will only be permitted to practice medicine during their initial license term under the supervision of a licensed physician, as determined by the Board. This change aims to streamline the licensing process for qualified international medical graduates while ensuring patient safety through initial supervision.
