Resident and Fellow Policy ManualLicensure:Residents may train in medical residency and subspecialty residency programs in New York State under the supervision of a licensed physician in an approved hospital setting without obtaining a license; however, after completion of the internship year, residents are eligible to obtain a New York State License and may be required to do so at the discretion of the program director. An unrestricted license is valid for a two year period at an initial application fee of $735 and is required of residents who may wish to engage in clinical activities outside the residency (“moonlighting”). Applications for licensure are at http://www.op.nysed.gov/pdffiles.htm. Application for licensure is required when applying for USMLE Step 3. Applications for Step 3 are available at http://www.fsmb.org, under Examination Services. Step 3 can be taken prior to the start of training. |
