hi - I wonder if you could please help me with a question?
My wife is a British anesthesiologist consultant.
She now resides in the usa married to myself and so has a green card and is teaching fellows pediatric anesthesia at a university hospital.
She has sat her usmle and passed all parts and this year (her second full year) she will gain a state medical license.
However she has not done a US residancy and so is also not board certified!
However she is currently teaching and helping fellows.
After this year the rules of the hospital are changing and they are saying you must be board certified!!!
How can she achieve this without doing a residancy? (She did this in the uk 14 years ago!) she is not going to go and do a residancy here and so what other options does she have? Any help would be much appreciated
She is very depressed and we are thinking of moving back to the U.K.
Any help and advise would be most welcome, I believe this change will effect many not just my wife.
