Hi!
My husband is interested in working as an ophthalmologist for the US government. He needs to get a full license from any state. He is a US citizen and he completed medical school and his residency in Asia. He has a certificate from the ECFMG part1 and 2ck and2cs, but not part 3. He completed a 3 year clinical fellowship in ophthalmology 15 years ago from an accredited hospital in Massachusetts. He has been in private practice in Asia for the past 12 years. I know he can't be board certified in ophthalmology unless he does his residency over again, but is it possible for him to obtain a medical license in a state? He would take step 3 of the ECFMG if needed, but it would be 15 years after he received his initial certification. Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
