Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 54.1-2933.1 as follows:
§ 54.1-2933.1. Temporary licensure of certain foreign graduates to obtain training.
The Board may issue, to a physician licensed in a foreign country, a license valid for a period not to exceed six months to practice medicine while such physician is attending advanced training in an institute for post graduate health science operated collaboratively by a health care system having approved residency programs and a public institution of higher education. This temporary license shall only authorize the holder to practice medicine in the hospitals and outpatient clinics of the collaborating health care system while he is receiving training in the institute for post graduate health science. This temporary license to foreign graduates shall only be renewable under exceptional circumstances which would otherwise cause an undue hardship upon the applicant.
