I have often seen reference to the need for IMG's to have done their med school rotations at "green book" or training sites. Could someone tell me what that means. Why can't an IMG have done all of their rotations at Podunk community hospital? I knew someone who went to St. Georges, did all of years 3 and 4 in the UK and came back here and did her residency.
And do different states have different requirement regarding IMG's and off-shore students? I saw a notice from Ross (I think) saying that their students were approved for clinicals in New York. I would have thought an agreement between a school and a hospital was nothing to do with the state.
Also, what do IMG's so about liability insurance - I suppose their schools provide it. And do most off-shore students do their rotations in the same hospital / area? If not, that must get pretty expensive and be pretty disruptive if they have to move cities all the time.
