Yes, you need an active license in any state. You can check eligibility easily by clicking on the link already provided in the original post. If you have 1 year of residency completed, you're eligible in other states--look up other states besides GA to get licensed in. BUT you also need an MPH or at least 1 year of public health experience too.

I'm not. not as an IMG only Puerto Rico and that 'state' doesn't even exist in a real logistical sense of acquiring a license, trust me if there's a state i was eligible for a full license that's where I would be. Please prove me wrong. you will not be able to unfortunately. I have been looking for 5 years for options to work and practice as a physician, see patients, stay in primary care, any health care and there's nothing but red tape and bureaucracy behind having an MD in the states. God for bid you went to a Caribbean school where your loans and teachers come from the state but no, your still an IMG so they can squeeze and bottle neck and continue to short residency spots without doing anything but producing more doctors unable to work or practice as physicians. Its an appalling system and reality that the person with the highest level of education is subjected to the most difficulty in simply being able to find a job and yet residency programs do that ever they wish with no checks and balances. This train has been off the rails for a long time and every one knows and the government still does nothing about it.
