Vermont § 1395 - License by endorsement

§ 1395. License by endorsement

• (a) The Board shall have an endorsement process for physician licensure that requires
  not more than three years of practice in good standing in another jurisdiction within
  the United States, regardless of whether that jurisdiction has licensing requirements
  substantially equal to those of this State, provided the applicant meets one of the
  following postgraduate training requirements: (1) A graduate of a U.S. or Canadian medical school accredited by a body that is acceptable
  to the Board shall have successfully completed at least two years of postgraduate
  training in a U.S. or Canadian program accredited by an organization that is acceptable
  to the Board. (2) A graduate of a Board-approved medical school outside the United States or Canada
  shall have successfully completed at least three years of postgraduate training in
  a U.S. or Canadian program accredited by an organization that is acceptable to the
  Board. (b) If the Board determines that three years of demonstrated practice in another specific
  jurisdiction is not adequately protective of the public, it shall provide its rationale
  to the Commissioner, who may propose any necessary statutory or rule amendments in
  order to implement more restrictive requirements for endorsement for that jurisdiction. (c) The Board may issue to an endorsement applicant a waiver of the practice requirement
  if there is a showing that the waiver follows State policy and the public is adequately
  protected. (Amended 1967, No. 307 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. March 22, 1968; 1977, No. 91, § 3, eff. May 5, 1977; 1977, No. 259 (Adj. Sess.), § 4; 1989, No. 250 (Adj. Sess.), § 41; 2001, No. 151 (Adj.
