More Information
The Arkansas State Medical Board has established a policy that it will not issue a state medical license to anyone who has more than three attempts on any of the USMLE Steps – 1, 2, or 3. For those educated outside the U.S., we look for approximately a year of experience in U.S. clinical settings such as externships, observerships, research assistants, etc. At least part of this experience should be in Psychiatry. We sponsor H-1B or J-1 visas. There is no cutoff date for year of graduation.
