The bill enacts R.S. 37:1275.2, which establishes a framework for the licensure of international medical graduates by the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners. It outlines specific criteria that applicants must meet to obtain a medical license in Louisiana, including holding a medical doctorate from an accredited international program, being in good standing with their home country's medical licensing authority, completing a residency or equivalent training, and having a job offer from a licensed hospital in the state. Additionally, the applicant must be a U.S. or Canadian citizen or legally authorized to work in the U.S. and possess basic English fluency.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that licensed international medical graduates can only provide medical services at a licensed hospital for the first two years of their practice in Louisiana. After this period, the restriction is lifted. The Board is also granted the authority to revoke licenses if a holder is found to violate established medical safety or conduct standards. Lastly, the Board is required to promulgate rules and regulations necessary to implement these provisions effectively.
