Puerto Rico Trained / Licensed Physicians

As of November 2007 there are 2 State Medical Boards which will accept applications from Physicians who are licensed in Puerto Rico and have taken the Puerto Rico State License Examination. These are  the Washington Medical Board (State), Indiana Medical Board, and the Nevada Medical Board.  The requirements of each are listed below:

Washington Medical Board (State):

Currently pending review/ruling by the Board (06/13/2008)

Indiana Medical Board (06/24/2007):

MedLicense.com had a conversation with the Indiana Medical Board. The staff member clarified their rules concerning Physicians who took the Puerto Rico Medical Board Examination. We were informed that Indiana will review each application from Physicians who took the Puerto Rico Medical Examination. If the physician is a foreign medical graduate, ECFMG Certification is required. We were told that Virginia reviews each application on a "Case by Case" Basis. In the event that the Board decides to consider the application, a Board Interview might be required.
