Revises requirements for certain medical schools to operate clinical clerkship programs in New Jersey.
S 2811 revises requirements for medical schools located outside the United States to operate clinical clerkship programs in New Jersey. The bill expands eligibility to include schools accredited by organizations recognized by the World Federation for Medical Education as having standards comparable to U.S. accreditation bodies. It establishes specific standards for these programs, requiring students to pass the USMLE Step 1 exam and hospitals to meet accreditation and supervision criteria. The bill also creates an Advisory Committee on Alternatively Accredited Medical School Clinical Clerkships within the Department of Health to oversee program approvals and expansions.
