Medical license in DC

[lulu3]

Does anyone know if you need a medical license to do a residency in DC? When does DC require you to apply for a license?

when you start residency, they give you all this paperwork which includes the application for the DC teaching license. I believe if you moonlight you apply for your own license [after taking step 3]

I've always wondered about the DC med license. Do you need a med license from DC to practice there? is there some type of reciprocal relationship with surrounding states?

DC has it's own medical board for licensure.

My understanding is that you need a DC license to practice in the district. You can, however, set up shop in Maryland or Virginia and then have your scripts recognized by the surrounding states as well as DC.
