Introduced by: Robert G. Marshall | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Residency training in obstetrics and gynecology.  Provides that the Board of Medicine may not deny an otherwise qualified and eligible candidate for admission to the examination for licensure to practice medicine, if the candidate completed a course of study which was not accredited by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education solely for failure to provide training in the procedure of induced abortion in residency training in obstetrics and gynecology. The Board is required to apply to the U.S. Secretary of Education to seek approval as a recognized accrediting agency for the purpose of accrediting medical education programs in Virginia. After receiving such recognition, the Board must provide in its regulations that no candidate for the examination to practice medicine shall be required to complete training in the procedure of induced abortion in residency training in obstetrics and gynecology.
