2107.  

(a) The Legislature intends that the board shall have the authority to substitute postgraduate education and training to remedy deficiencies in an applicant’s medical school education and training. The Legislature further intends that applicants who substantially completed their clinical training shall be granted that substitute credit if their postgraduate education took place in an accredited program.

(b) To meet the requirements for licensure set forth in Sections 2089 and 2089.5, the board may require an applicant under this article to successfully complete additional education and training. In determining the content and duration of the required additional education and training, the board shall consider the applicant’s medical education and performance on standardized national examinations, and may substitute approved postgraduate training in lieu of specified undergraduate requirements. Postgraduate training substituted for undergraduate training shall be in addition to the postgraduate training required by Sections 2102 and 2103.

(c) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2020, and as of that date is repealed.

(Amended by Stats. 2017, Ch. 775, Sec. 57. (SB 798) Effective January 1, 2018. Repealed as of January 1, 2020, by its own provisions.)
