hello everyone, i am trying to deal with PTAL these days , nightmare i have a few questions to ask, hope anybody who has any idea will share with me 1: instruction page 6: instruction in the clinical courses shall total a minimum of 72 weeks in length. question: 72 weeks =lecture in classroom or =clerkship or = lecture in classroom + clerkship this instruction is for form L 5, so i assume those hours just mean clerkship?? 2: any IMG or chinese IMG knows what courses in china = family medicine?? some pp say prevented medicine. any other idea??? 3: my clerkship sometimes mix at the same week. for example: for the whole week, in the morning , we will do internal; in the afternoon we will do surgery . so , do i count my int or surgery as 0.5 week or 1 week?? 4: L5 form: when i write down my rotation in internal med, do i need to break down into cardiac 2 weeks, gastrointestinal 2 weeks , respiratory 2 weeks, bla bla bal , or i simply add them up and put internal med: 8 weelks? 5: as for my school , do they only need to mail form L 2 and L 5 to board ?and as for the others files i need to send to the boards except my score . is it correct? 6: i am confused of form L 6. during my clerkship, i did rotate in 2 different hospitals. one is affliated hospital of my school, another one is also teaching hospital where my school always send students there to rotate. they are in same province. in my case, do i need to fill L 6?

1: Those means clerkships 2: I can't help you with this one. Maybe another IMG from China can verify this information for you. 3: What about the hours requirements, does it comply with Medical board's hours requirement? 4: Add each subspecialty together into internal medicine: 8 weeks, etc. No need to specify one by one by subspecialty. 5: School need to send L2 and L5. Also medical diploma and transcript. Score you need to request it to be sent directly to med board. 6: You can pick the main hospital only

kca: thank you so much now i have a better idea . but still confused of form L6 basically i rotate in 3 diff hospitals which are all my schools teaching hospital includes the psychiatric hospital... do i put them all in form L5 ??? can i just ignore L 6? it says L6 is for international medical school graduates who complieted any clinical training outside of the primary teaching hospital of their medical school. but since all the 3 hospitals i went to are all my schools teaching hospital, so i can just put them all in L 5 and forget about L 6 do i make sense??? any help will be appreciated
