(a) A physician applicant who earned a certificate of completion from a fifth pathway program supported by the American Medical Association may apply for and receive licensure by examination in this state, if otherwise eligible for licensure.

(b) If otherwise eligible for licensure, and in order to be licensed in this state, a physician applicant for licensure by credentials who earned a certificate of completion from a fifth pathway program not supported by the American Medical Association must provide verification of full and unrestricted licensure in at least one licensing jurisdiction in the United States, with evidence of successful completion of post graduate training recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties and evidence of board certification by a board under the American Board of Medical Specialties.

(c) In this section, "fifth pathway program" means a program by which students who have attended four years at a foreign medical school that requires one year of social service before awarding the degree may complete their supervised clinical work at a United States medical school, become eligible for entry to residency training in the United States, and ultimately obtain a license to practice in the United States.
