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?

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)

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
