I don't think training licenses have "inactive statuses", at least they didn't in Pennsy. And since we do not know what state the...

A vast majority of IMG's that do their medical school training in India that don't do that well on their boards end up going to either some...

This is one thread that is both amazing and sad. In a strange way this thread has made me realize something that I had not thought about before. These high debt loads of the current students may actually provide some level of job security for attending physicians like myself who have no loan debt. What I see is that people in my situation will be able to afford to work for lower pay than the new grads with big debts. For instance as physician...

"Wal-Mart is not responsible for the medical treatment provided in this clinic." I couldn't think of a more horrifying job than doing primary care in EFFIN Walmart. Imagine being one of those PA's or NP's! Here's Big Bertha checking out the meat before waddling over to the weigh station for her cholesterol levels => http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/?p=6320

Again it all come to individual not a group as a whole so it will depend person to person and program to program.

I think that radiologist will almost certainly see their incomes stagnate in the next few years....

Quote: Originally Posted by Winged Scapula While every application I've seen asks about any academic discipline or being dismissed from a program, unless it was for untreated drug/ETOH, felonies or academic dishonesty, I can't say I've heard of being denied a license simply due to being terminated from a program, especially for the reasons you gave. What happens , if your licence is abandoned, due to leaving the program after 1...

My point was just that, in some cases, which specialty you get to practice isn't quite up to you. I've had classmates who were AOA, top notch board scores, and still not match in radiology, or ortho, or derm, or ophtho, or urology. And...

Quote: Originally Posted by tkim So, if my sister who lives out of state visits me and gets a rx from me for her inhaler, would that be considered practicing without a license? Or is it more like me mailing her a script out of state? I mean, I write rx for out of state people who I see in my state of licensure. That can't be illegal. Nor can trying to fill that script either instate or out of state be on me, since I have no control where...
