HOLY CARP!!!

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

A. A U.S. or Canadian medical school graduate doesn't have to do a residency to practice medicine, at least not in Louisiana. http://www.lsbme.louisiana.gov/Qualifications-USandCanadianGraduatesv2.htm B. I've known several folks over the years who had foreign medical degrees, but could not practice in the U.S. Requirements for foreign-trained students, down my way: http://www.lsbme.louisiana.gov/Qualifications-InternationaMedicalGraduatesv2.htm |

What Jolly says about needing a residency is true in Illinois as well. However, it's number 5 that gets you:
IOW, after school, you have to have at least an internship under your belt. The internship is part of the matching process as well, and usually joined to the residency. I had a year's internship before starting my training, and it was a seamless transition - I just went to a different place on July 1. There used to be programs that offered just an internship and you were OYO to get into a residency. I don't know if they still exist. The other thing is this: Although you can go into practice right after your internship, the hospitals that will allow you to join the staff without a residency under your belt are few and far between, at least in Chicago. That said, one can have strictly an office-based practice and refer the people that need hospitalization out. I know one guy that does that. |

In fact, theres a FP in my place that never did a residency. He's probably in his early 70s now, and he was grandfathered in when the rules changed. When my place opened in the 1950s, it was probably a pretty common scenario. |
