[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were an OB I wouldn't want to practice in a backwards-аss state like Idaho. Remember republicans are not pro-life. They are anti-women.[/quote]
+1 Can anyone share how easy or hard it is for an MD to get licensed in a different state? [/quote]

It's not. It's a hassle, but it isn't hard. You have to prove the important paperwork (degrees, licensure, explanation for any problems with licensure previously) and have recommendations as well as documentation for any procedures you want hospital privileges for. Basically if you prove you are a competent, appropriately licensed doc, you can get a license in any state.

The two big hurdles are the paperwork and some pretty esoteric state-to-state differences in regulation (e.g., some states would accept passing USMLE Step I and III up to a total of 10 years apart, some would accept only up to 7). But there is a lot of this information kept online now. Specialty boards will retain copies of past documentation that has been vetted, so if you are a board-certified OB, you don't have to start from scratch ever time to gather transcripts from 20 years ago, etc. And as for the latter, state boards are moving much more towards standardized requirements overall.[/quote]
