What are the requirements for an international medical school graduate to get a Full Texas Medical License?
The requirements are the same for International Medical School Graduates (IMGs) and U.S. or Canadian medical school graduates except that:
• IMGs must demonstrate that they are either ABMS or BOS specialty board certified, have graduated from a medical school on our Substantial Equivalence list, or have graduated from a foreign medical education program that has been determined to be equivalent to a U.S. medical education by the Foreign Credentials Service of America (FCSA); and
• IMGs are required to have either two years of continuous progressive accredited training, TMB Board approved training, teaching under a Faculty Temporary License in Texas, or a combination. Practice under an unrestricted full license issued in the U.S. for at least five years without any disciplinary action in any state may also be accepted in lieu of two years of training previously outlined.
