HB 1379: RELATING TO HEALTH.

Exempts graduates from international medical schools from the residency requirements for medical licensure if the applicant has had at least one year of fellowship training in a program whose parent program or hospital is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, American Osteopathic Association, Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, or College of Family Physicians of Canada.  Authorizes the board to waive the residency requirements if the applicant has graduated from a foreign medical school, passed the USMLE, and practices in a specialty that no other licensed physician in the State practices in.
