Anyone in state of Florida (or anywhere really) knows how to get around doing an AOA internship to practice in Florida with a full license ....?

Do we know what’s going to happen with this starting in 2020 yet?

State dependent. The DO medical board would have to change its requirements. That may or may not happen. Currently only PA and FL are the hold outs.

Any idea if there's been any movement in those states? Would it require actual legislation, or just change of policy by the board? Aren't the osteopathic medical boards pretty beholden to the state osteopathic associations? Keeping it seems like a great way to tank the number of DOs in your state... you know, by requiring something that is impossible to fulfill.

That or a lawsuit. I can see it now actually. One of those DOs who trained at Cleveland Clinic with an unblemished record trying to practice in FL and when denied because he/she didn't train at Land of the Swamp Cabbage Hospital, he/she sues the medical board.
