Are you an internationally trained physician who would like to re-enter the medical field in Massachusetts? That had always seemed like an almost impossible dream to fulfill. But on November 20, 2024, Governor Maura Healy signed the Physician Pathway Act (PPA) into law. That act creates a viable 3-year pathway to licensure.
ABN has detailed information about the PPA on it's website. In brief (from the ABN site):
Steps to Licensure
Eligible internationally-trained physicians (ITPs) can get a 1-year limited license to work under a mentor at an approved health center or hospital. After completing this year, they can obtain a 2-year restricted license to work in shortage areas or specialties. After these steps, they can apply for a full license to practice anywhere in Massachusetts. Both the 1-year and 2-year licenses can be renewed once.
