Medical Board Issues Warning About Unlicensed Graduates
Last week, the Medical Board of California issued a warning advising the state's 120,000 physicians to prohibit unlicensed international medical school graduates from treating patients. The board noted that international medical school graduates must enroll in accredited residency training programs to qualify for a California medical license. The board also warned that physicians could jeopardize their own medical licenses if they oversee clinical work provided by international medical school graduates.
