Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 360-10-.03 - Requirements for Licensure
(1) The standards for receiving such a
license may be different from those for receiving an unrestricted license to
practice medicine in this state. In granting these institutional licenses the
Board shall consider the following qualifications:
(a) Education: Any international medical
school graduate applying for an institutional license shall possess basic
qualifications and background as any other physician applying for a license in
the state. This shall include good moral character, and any other basic
background qualifications required by O.C.G.A. 43-34.
1. All other foreign medical schools must
have a program of education in the science and art of medicine leading to a
medical doctor degree or the medical doctor equivalent that requires a minimum
of two (2) years of pre-medical training which includes at least 130 weeks of
instruction. Applicants must have official transcripts that include at least
130 weeks of instruction.
2.
Applicants must have official transcripts of all medical and premedical
education mailed directly to the Board from the school where such education was
taken. If the transcripts are in a foreign language, applicants must furnish a
certified English translation. Transcripts must include the dates the applicant
attended the school and the grades received in all courses taken to fulfill the
requirements of the degree granted. In the Board's discretion, the transcript
requirement may be waived and the results of the Federation of State Medical
Boards (FSMB) verification service may be accepted if the applicant adequately
demonstrates that all diligent efforts have been made to secure transcripts
from the school.
(2) English language proficiency: Any
applicant the institution considers for employment must demonstrate
satisfactory competence in the English language by such reasonable means as the
Board may prescribe.
(3)
Experience: In determining competence the Board may consider the following
criteria as may be necessary to determine if the applicant is in fact a
competent physician: Professional attainments indicative of competence, such as
specialty board certification; Licensure in foreign jurisdiction or in another
State; and Reference letters from duly licensed physicians who have direct and
first hand knowledge of the applicant's ability;
.
(4)
Training: Proof of AMA or AOA approved post graduate residency training or such
other training as approved by the Board.
(5) Examination: Successful completion of
physician licensure examination or such examination as the Board may deem
necessary. In the event that the Board determines the examination of an
applicant to be necessary to determine competence, such examination may be of
any type as listed, or any combination thereof:
(a) oral;
(b) written; and/or
(c) practical,
(6) The institution should submit information
concerning the supervisory oversight of the institutional physician applicant
such as the name of the supervisor, the type of supervision being provided, and
the place of supervision.
(7) Board
may require the physician applicant and a representative of the institution to
appear for a personal interview before the Board or the committee.
(8) Nothing in this rule shall be construed
to prevent the Board from denying or conditionally granting an application for
licensure.
