“Quote me. Write this. If I could just get you to write one thing,” Litwin said over pizza. “It is a very wise man who learns from his mistakes and a very stupid one who doesn’t. Remember that.

What about the 5000 sqft house, the Maserati, etc... You can't put them on a credit card
Rich parents/inheritance?
He hasn't matched to a residency (never mind completed one) so is unable to be licensed. He's completed all the Steps though...so, there's that.
Refresh my memory, it's been a long time. Don't you get your license when finish medical school and you pass step 3? It's my understanding that having a medical license has nothing to do with completing residency training and board certification. You get your license then go through residency and take the specialty boards, not the other way around. Regardless, if he's passed step 3 and has his license, that should be able to be verified somewhere regardless of his residency or specialty board status, no?
You need to pass step3 and complete a 1-year residency to be eligible for medical licensure in ~33 US states if you are an AMG. The rest require at least 2 years. If you are an IMG/FMG, most states require the completion of at least 3-yr of residency. A handful of states require only 2-yr residency for FMG/IMG.
Okay, thanks. I was just wondering if there's any easy way with public information to verify his claimed credentials in the article. If not yet licensed, then I suppose not.
The article, as written, is honest and correct. It states that he has passed all his licensing exams and "can" get a license. It's not comprehensive though.
