S 1832 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Graduate Physician Licensing Act."

This bill establishes a new "graduate physician" license for medical school graduates who have not completed residency training. It allows these individuals to provide primary care services - such as family practice, internal medicine, or pediatrics - in medically underserved areas under the supervision of a fully licensed physician. To qualify, applicants must meet specific requirements, including graduating from an accredited medical school, passing key exams, and having no disqualifying criminal history or license violations. The license requires a written collaborative agreement with a supervising physician, restricts practice to underserved areas, and mandates clear identification as a "graduate physician" in clinical records.
