These ask that you be eligible for state licensure? Do you need to have a state license before these fellowship or do you need to get a state license during the fellowship? If someone can clarify this for me that would be greatly appreciated. For ACGME fellowships, you dont need a state license. Why the difference?

My experience is that the program (state?) dictates whether a license is required. I have done a non-accredited fellowship where I didn't need a license, and an accredited fellowship that required a state license. It boiled down to whether GME required PGY-2's and above at those particular institutions to have a state license or not. Maybe someone can clarify why this difference exists.
