New YorK State Medical License application

[Painter1]

I hear what holds up licenses in terms of time are states which require fingerprinting as they are processed by the gov and can take months. Does NYS fingerprint?

I can't believe no one knows even though I don't. Try posting in the Gen Res forum. Someone there will know.

I'll help you out: I asked our faculty and PD here in NY - NY does not require fingerprinting and most faculty and residents said it processes applications pretty quickly - 6 weeks to 2 months - which I guess is pretty fast compared to many states.

No fingerprinting. Give yourself 2-3 months to be on the safe side. Its not the department itself that takes a while but the getting all your papers in. There are also a couple of courses you have to take to be eligable. Easy annoying one hour things...
