Hi everybody.
Im an IMG in my 4th year of residency in Ohio. I have to pay application fees of 700$ by Feb 17 if I want to give my Board Exam this September. This means I need to have to have an unrestricted State License by September.
I have not yet applied for and given Step 3 (my bad). If I apply now and give Step 3 by April-end, I hope to have scores in hand by May end. This is not enough time for an IMG to complete the compulsory FCVS application to the Ohio State Board for an Unrestricted License.
Is it a good idea to apply for the PA license once I have my step 3 scores? I really want to give the Boards this September for several personal reasons. Can anyone advise me. Is is okay (legal) to apply for the PA license because its the fastest license? Apparently it arrives in 2 months, even for an IMG. Please advise....
