My international medical school (which is accredited and accepted by the US) has an affiliation with a hospital in New York but it is NOT an ACGME teaching hospital. I am worried that doing all my 6th year core clinical rotations there may be considered unacceptable by the state licensing board since it is not an associated academic teaching hospital. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Is this affiliation enough?
Because I checked the medical board of California and it states DO NOT CONTACT THEM asking if your clinical rotation counts. You will only know after you graduate and submit for a license; essentially when it will be too late. If it helps, this is the hospital (http://www.wyckoffhospital.org/). Thank you in advance.

In general, clinical rotations may be acceptable if they are conducted:
In general, clinical rotations may be acceptable if they are conducted:
- at your medical school’s teaching hospital;
- in a US facility that has an ACGME accredited program in the specialty in which you are doing the rotation; or
- in an institution that your medical school has an affiliation agreement with that has been previously approved by the Medical Board of California.
