House Bill No. 2050, introduced by Stinson, amends Section 493.2 of Title 59 of the Oklahoma Statutes to include provisions for international medical school graduates seeking licensure in the state. The bill establishes a framework for limited licensure for these graduates, allowing them to practice under specific conditions, including the completion of a three-year post-graduate training program or equivalent experience. It also outlines the requirements for obtaining full licensure after a three-year period of practice, contingent upon good standing and passing the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE).

The bill modifies existing language regarding foreign applicants, replacing references to "foreign" with "international medical school graduate" and detailing the necessary qualifications for licensure. It emphasizes the importance of English proficiency, requiring satisfactory command as determined by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). Additionally, the bill mandates original source verification of credentials and allows the Board to set rules for graduate medical training as needed for public safety. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
