How to obtain a Medical License in CA, USA to practice?

  • I have a friend who has been practicing medicine for over 30 years in Hong Kong. He has citizenship in the USA but don't have the license to practice it here. How can obtain a license here in the USA and what are other things that should concern him before moving here to practice? Oh, and he would be working in California

  • Answer:

    He wants to contact the California Medical Board; they have an application process and additional requirements. He wants to check to see if his medical school is on the disapproved list. If it is, then it will be difficult to get licensed in California. If not, then this is one less hurdle. I have provided the links below: http://www.medbd.ca.gov/applicant/application_faq.pdf http://www.medbd.ca.gov/applicant/schools_unapproved.html

He should check with a counselor at an accredited college, for instance the University of California system. If he starts there first, he won't get talked into a huge student loan for additional classes at a private college, when he may not need to take them. Some private colleges are great. Some are scams. he should also talk to the human resources department at the kind of hospital or medical office where he wants to work. They'll be able to tell him the kind of credentials he'll need to get work as a physician.
