In April 2023, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee (R) signed into law a bill
that enables IMGs to skip residency and instead get a 2-year
provisional license to work at a healthcare facility that has
an accredited residency program. After 2 years, they can
apply for a full license.
In both cases, relevant bills have passed the state House and
Senate, and await each governor's signature.
The Florida provision will allow IMGs to skip residency
requirements if they've completed similar post-graduate
training that meets state and national standards. It's part of
a larger healthcare workforce bill awaiting the signature of
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
