Hey Guys,
I am applying for a TExas MEdical License. I am a PGY 3 . I keep hearing the licensing process is a beast. Why is that? From the outside it looks straight forward. Is it more complicated if you have graduated for a few years and have had jobs??
I have not been able to log into their LIST service. IS this something that you can sign up for once you pay the fees and finish the initial application. AM i going to get a shock at the amount of supplemental forms there will be?
I also have a few questions.
1.) I took two LOA during my PGY 2 and PGY 3 year for a surgery that resulted in 2 weeks off for post op both times. There is a question that mentions have you ever taken a LOA during training. I mentioned Yes and I will attach the supplemental form. Is this going to be a big deal if the medical condition has resolved.
2.) Before residency and after medical school, I worked at Dunkin DOnuts (rolls eyes), and a lab running flow cytometry just to make some coin. I did not list these jobs on my training and work experience cause it was beyond irrelevant. Will they frown upon that?
3.) During Medical School, I took 6 weeks in between 3 rd and 4th year while studying for my Step 2. It was not necessarily a LOA but I just had that much time due to way my graduation date was. One of the question in the licensing application was "have you ever taken a LOA greater than 4 weeks in medical school?" I answered no to this. IS this misrepresenting?
4.) I am a carribean grad from SGU, one of the better schools FWIW. Will this be an issue as long as my school can show documentations of my rotations were done at ACGME accredited residencies
