He has to complete 1-3 years of residency or years of practice outside of the U.S. or Canada before applying for a license ? I dont understand what that means. I mean , dont they apply for a license after they finish their medical residency ? I read that from AMA's website and i dont understand what they mean by 1-3 years of residency. Aren't these the steps to become a licensed physician in the US (for IMGs) :
ECFMG certification , THEN residency match , THEN applying for a license and board certification ? If not , please tell me how its done.
