As of January 1, 2022, PTL holders are eligible to apply for a doctor`s and surgeon`s license after completing 12 months (graduates of U.S. or Canadian medical schools) or 24 months (graduates of international medical schools) of postgraduate training points. Most licensed physicians and surgeons in California are required to complete a single Continuing Medical Education (CME) course on pain management and the treatment of terminally ill and dying patients. This course must also include the topic of addiction risks associated with class II drug use.* This 12-hour course requirement must be met within four years of obtaining an initial licence. This requirement does not apply to physicians working in pathological or radiological specialties. Canadian medical graduates are treated in the same way as U.S. graduates and must be licensed on the first day of their third year of study at CMAMA. However, it is not necessary to take the USMLE exams. Canadian entrance exams are recognized in California. Therefore, graduates of Canadian medical schools who have passed the Canadian License and one-year residency exams at ACGME are eligible to obtain a CA MD license. Canadians do not need an ECFMG certificate.
Please see www.mbc.ca.gov/licensee/continuing_education.html here for a full description of the requirements. Alternatively, physicians and surgeons may take a single 12-hour mandatory CME course to treat and treat opioid-dependent patients.** This CME option must include 8 hours of training in buprenorphine treatment or other similar medical treatment for opioid use disorders to replace the existing CME pain management requirement. Physicians who choose this alternative must meet the CME requirements by the next licence renewal date after approval. For general internists and family physicians, 25% of whose patients are 65 years of age or older. they must complete at least 20% of the HSF required in geriatric medicine or geriatric care. And don`t forget the requirements for pain management and end-of-life care (PM/ELC) — also CME, but separate from the requirements mentioned above. The law that adopted this mandate was precise – PM/ELC hours must be a separate class specific to these topics. PG training is not part of this requirement. California requires graduates of U.S.
medical schools to successfully complete USMLE I, II, and III and complete one year of ACGME residency that meets the requirements of general practice. U.S. graduates must hold a bachelor`s degree on the first day of their third year of ACGME education.
