If you are an internationally trained physician, attend this session to learn about how this law will affect you, status of the program implementation, and what your next steps should be.

Among other requirements, eligible ITPs must have practiced medicine for at least 1 year in a clinical area corresponding to primary care (internal medicine, family medicine, geriatrics, or pediatrics) or psychiatry. The pathway also requires initial employment by a participating healthcare facility that will provide guidance and other support.
