If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding the licensure requirements for applicants who have graduated from unapproved medical schools. Specifically, it would change the requirement for these applicants to "successfully complete" an additional 24 months of hospital internships, residency, or clinical fellowship programs to instead require them to "be enrolled" in such programs. This modification aims to provide more flexibility for applicants while still ensuring they engage in necessary training.

Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to the language used in the statutes, such as updating the term "council" to "commission" in reference to the educational body for foreign medical graduates. It also clarifies that applicants must meet both specified requirements rather than each, streamlining the licensure process. Overall, these updates are intended to enhance the regulatory framework governing medical licensure in Arizona without imposing additional fiscal burdens on the state.
