Arizona Medical Board Licensing Requirements for International Graduates

Date of Vote: April 30, 2025

Chamber of Origin: House

Senate Bill 1395 amends section 32-1423 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to establish specific criteria for applicants who have graduated from unapproved allopathic medical schools. In addition to basic licensure requirements, these applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English, hold a standard certificate from the educational council commission for foreign medical graduates, and complete a 24-month hospital internship or residency program. The bill aims to ensure that international medical graduates meet the necessary qualifications to practice medicine in Arizona, thereby enhancing the quality of healthcare in the state.1
