New Law Allows International Medical Graduates to Bypass US Residency…What a great news for IMGs…
In April 2023, Tennessee passed Senate Bill 1451, a groundbreaking law that offers a new pathway for IMGs. This law allows IMGs licensed in other countries to apply for provisional licenses to practice as healthcare providers in the state.
Challenges Faced by IMGs
IMGs face numerous hurdles in obtaining licensure in the US. These include:
• High Costs: The expense of medical school and residency in the US can be prohibitive.
• Residency Match Process: The competition for residency positions is intense, and not all qualified IMGs secure a spot.
• Limited Residency Slots: There are fewer residency positions available compared to the number of applicants.
Due to these obstacles, up to 40% of IMGs in some states end up working in non-medical roles, unable to use their medical expertise.
Understanding the New Tennessee Law.
Overview of Senate Bill 1451
In April 2023, Tennessee passed Senate Bill 1451, a groundbreaking law that offers a new pathway for IMGs. This law allows IMGs licensed in other countries to apply for provisional licenses to practice as healthcare providers in the state. Key provisions include:
Provisional Licensure: IMGs can work at locations with post-graduate training programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
Path to Full Licensure: After two years of practice and maintaining good standing, IMGs can receive full and unrestricted medical licensure without needing to complete a US residency.
Qualification Criteria for IMGs
To take advantage of this opportunity, IMGs must meet several criteria:
1. Medical School Certification: The medical school’s curriculum must be acceptable to the board.
2. Application Fee: A nonrefundable application fee is required.
3. Good Standing: Evidence of good standing with the licensing or regulatory body in the applicant’s home country.
4. Post-Graduate Training: Completion of a three-year residency or fellowship in their home country, or practice for at least three of the last five years outside the US.
5. IMG Status: Proof of being an international medical graduate.
6. Employment Offer: An employment offer from a healthcare provider in Tennessee with an ACGME-accredited residency program.
7. ECFMG Certification: Certification from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates.
8. US Work Authorization: Proof of US citizenship or legal work authorization.
9. Moral Character: Evidence of good moral character.
10. English Fluency: Proficiency in English.
What This Means for Aspiring Physicians
