Physicians
We work with many health care professionals who were practicing physicians before coming to the US. To become relicensed as a physician is costly, lengthy, and a lot of time near impossible based on individual situations.
Although we assist many of these physicians with training and education for other health-related jobs more often, it is still important to understand the process.
Required Exams for Physicians:
USMLE — The United States Medical Licensing Examination® (USMLE®) is a three-step examination for medical licensure in the U.S. The exams are taken at a specific time before, during, and after residency.
- USMLE Step 1: Medical Science
- USMLE Step 2: Clinical Knowledge
- USMLE Exam 3
- Occupational English Test (OET): This test may be required based on many factors.
