Hello,
I'm a general cardiology fellow and have a chance to do an away rotation in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology (the area of my interest) for a month in August. However it seems like most states have extensive paperwork requirements for obtaining a temporary license as a visiting housestaff physician. Anyone has any insight on which states are more friendly in applying for a temporary licenses? I do not have strong geographic preferences, basically any good Advanced Heart Failure program would serve my need of gaining more exposure in this field.
Thanks in advance!

your away program should help with the credentialing and licensing

I wouldn’t select based on this requirement but you do need to consider it when scheduling. Ideally 6 months in advance.
