This picture shows the steps that an international medical graduate must make to become a licensed physician in the US. What i dont understand is that after "USMLE step 3" there is "Year 1 residency". But the picture also showed "residency training" before USMLE step 3 . Isnt the residency part over before USMLE step 3 ? And again its mentioned after "state licensure" ? what is that ?
