House Bill No. 2050 amends existing legislation regarding the licensure of foreign applicants and international medical school graduates seeking to practice medicine in Oklahoma. The bill introduces provisions for limited licensure for international medical school graduates, allowing them to practice under specific conditions, including the completion of a three-year post-graduate training program or equivalent experience. It also establishes requirements for obtaining full licensure after three years of practice, contingent upon good standing and passing the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE).

Key changes include the removal of outdated language regarding foreign applicants and the addition of new criteria for international medical school graduates, such as the necessity of employment offers from accredited health care providers and supervision during the limited licensure period. The bill also emphasizes the importance of English language proficiency, requiring verification through the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025.
