US Medical Licensing Process The Administration for Children and Families
New in Washington State!
International Medical Graduates Clinical Experience License
In 2021, the legislature passed SHB 1129. This new law requires the Medical Commission (WMC) offer a limited license for International Medical Graduates (IMG) to gain clinical experience. Those meeting specific criteria and requirements below can be licensed for two years, with the option for one renewal for a total practice time of four years.
This is a pathway to consider if you have been out of practice for a number of years, have gone through the MATCH process without successfully obtaining a residency, or are considering another pathway such as research or public health and would like to practice as a physician while pursuing that pathway.
