I was reviewing the requirements for having a foreign medical degree recognized in Brazil. In Brazil it's called "revalidacao de diploma exterior". Like most South American countries, Brazil requires a minimum 6-year 7200 hour medical degree. Since the standard in the US is 4-year 4800 hour degree, a US medical degree does not satisfy the Brazil requirement. I think that this acts to permanently bar any American doc from the Brazilian medical market, while their docs can easily come to the US to practice.
Does anybody know if there ia a way around this?
Can a doc who is board certified in the US get licensed in Brazil?
I think that this issue, while unnoticed now, practiice rights will become increasingly important.
Anyone out there with knowledge of this?
