You're right, I'm just making it up as I go. Busted! Never mind that I've been in healthcare for over 20 years now and every doctor hired by the two major company's I've worked for that could not pass their boards to be certified in Texas were fired because they could not work in Texas. But that's meaningless. BTW, they were all doctors that went to school in the US and were licensed to work in other states before being hired to move to Texas under the condition of passing their boards here.rotor wrote:You guys just make this stuff up?

Just because someone has a medical degree in another country doesn't mean they can just come on over and hang out a shingle and start taking patients. They gotta go through part of the process here to become certified and licensed. That even happens within the country from state to state. Doctors moving from one state to another must take a board exam to become certified to practice in their new state. Those that can't pass that exam after 3, IIRC, attempts cannot practice in the state. The number and time frame may vary from state to state.
I worked in a nursing department many years ago while I was in school. That's how I picked out my future daughter's pediatrician.
