I just heard the state of illinois has additional requirement for their temporary state license in residency. it took a lot trouble to get it. It happened to someone last year.

is it true? does that mean we should not apply for illinois programs at all? confused

  #2

I never encountered that as a requirement in any program in Illinois

  #3

The state specific requirements are rigid and they cant be waived for anybody..You may want to do required clerkships or earn required cme credits to be eligible..
have a look at this advertisement-
Earn CME credits for Illinoi license at "another hypothetical question" thread.
We are also hoping to be able to create 3 psychiatry clerkship slots on the same thread..

Sorry forgot to mention that the clerkship requirements can also be completed without too much of a trouble..You can do the required additional clerkships in your home country and that will be taken into consideration..so if planning for Illinoi and falling short of requirements ,better start arranging it now so that you do it in time..(this is what i understand)

From their website -

"Individuals who graduated from a medical or osteopathic college more than 2
years prior to date of application for licensure, not actively engaged in the
practice of medicine or engaged in a formal program of medical education in
another state, territory, country, or province in addition to meeting all
requirements for licensure, must submit documentation to the Department
evidencing professional capacity since graduation from medical school. Refer
to page 3 for specific information regarding acceptable documentation to
evidence continuing clinical skills. "


And on Page 3 -

" Medical Research - Medical research shall be human clinical research that is consistent
with the requirements of the Federal Food and Drug Administration,
and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Special Training - Specialized training or education shall be clinical training or
or Education clinical education such as the following:

program recognized by the Department.
b. Clinical medical practice in the National Health Service.
c. Continuing medical education (CME) recognized by the
American Council on Continuing Medical Education (ACCME),
the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), or continuing
medical education in accordance with the adopted Rules and
Regulations of the Department.
d. Postgraduate education in basic or related medical sciences.

Published - Publication in medical or scientific journals of original work in clinical
medicine which are listed by the Cumulative Index Medicas (CIM).

Section 18(a) of the Illinois Medical Practice Act of 1987. "


Basically if more than 2 yrs have passed since graduation , you need some research or recognised CME.You can get the CME online while sitting at home.Some programs even guide you how to get that CME.

Guys take it easy.

You are not going for licensure. That is for Illinois licence, which you can get after passing step3 after certain duration of residency. I dont think it hinders you from applying for pgy1 positions. Do let me know if I am not correct.

I think you do need limited temporary license before starting any residency.You
can later get unrestricted license after 1 -3 years of residency training and clearing step 3.

PS : Micheal Carleone rules all.

I have done 2 weeks of Psychiatry postings in my 3rd year and 2 weeks of Psychiatry posting in my final year. However, I do not have any documentation regarding this.

Does this mean I cannot apply to Illinois? None of the residency programs mention this requirement in their application process. Could someone please elaborate on what exactly this requirement means and if there is any place I can get more clarification about this?

Also, if this requirement is valid, by when do I need documentation for the psychiatry postings? Is it at the time I am applying to medical schools, at the time I go for interviews OR at the time I join a residency (if i get one in Illionis )?

Thanks a lot in advance

Apart from http://www.idfpr.com/dpr/apply/physli.asp please letme know where elase can I know if its a pre-residency requirement.
