To assist foreign-trained doctors, the Board of Medicine developed a curriculum for a refresher course to prepare applicants for the licensing exam. However, no medical school or organization has offered to provide the refresher course.
The Legislature reduced the residency requirement for foreign-trained doctors to two years.
The board revised the disciplinary case cover sheet, but does not formally track sanctions imposed on domestic and foreign-trained doctors to ensure that they are being imposed in a fair and consistent way.
