My medical school is located outside of the United States and Canada but is not on the board’s substantial equivalence list. Am I still eligible for the Physician Graduate license?
If you are a graduate of a medical school not on the board’s "Substantial Equivalence" list, you will be required to have the Foreign Credentials Services of American (FCSA) complete an evaluation of your medical education and have the final report forwarded to the Board. An FCSA academic credentials report that determines the medicine degree awarded by your medical school is comparable to a medicine degree awarded by a U.S. institution that is lacking regional accreditation is not acceptable and therefore you would not be eligible for the Physician Graduate license.
