What is the licensure exception for intern/resident training?
In general, there is an exception to licensure for the rendering of services by interns or resident physicians in a hospital or clinic in which they are training, subject to the conditions and limitations of your state’s laws. Your state medical board may require a resident physician to be licensed if they otherwise engage in the practice of medicine in your state. Interns and residents holding temporary licenses should be employed in a legally established and licensed hospital, medical school or other organization operating an approved graduate medical education program and their practice should be confined to persons who are bona fide patients within the hospital or other organization or who receive treatment and advice in an outpatient department of the hospital or an institution affiliated with the graduate medical education program.
