Law
International medical graduates
HEALTH – Amends existing law to provide for temporary registration of experienced international medical graduates who are in the United States as asylees, humanitarian parolees, or refugees and to require that registrants agree to practice in a health professional shortage area.

RS30284 / S1094

This legislation would extend a temporary license and registration, usually applied to U.S. Medical School graduates for residency training in Idaho, to experienced International Medical Graduates who are forcibly displaced persons to address the severe doctor shortage while simultaneously putting experienced physicians to work.

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund with this legislation. These programs are grant-funded and require no additional monies from the General Fund.
