Important Application Information

A requirement for acceptance into a residency program in the State of California is that an applicant is eligible for medical licensure. The Medical Board of California requires that all residents (regardless of their specialty) be licensed prior to the start of the PG-III training year.

Recently, the State of California, in conjunction with the Medical Board of California, passed AB3479 (September 1994) that established a four-week family practice curriculum requirement. Therefore, in order to be eligible for licensure you must meet this requirement. This regulation will affect all medical school graduates as of May 1, 1998.

If you have any questions as to whether or not your medical school curriculum meets the requirement for licensure in the State of California, please contact the Medical Board directly at (916) 263-2344, or our Emergency Medicine Housestaff Coordinator at (916) 734-8571.
