| 2004 - NYS Education Department Code
As you know, the New York State Hospital Code, at Section 405.4(f),
generally
restricts hospitals from having on staff post-graduate trainees who, as part
of their education in a foreign medical school, spent more than 12 weeks of
clinical clerkship in a country other than the country in which the medical
school is located. A foreign medical school can have this restriction waived
with approval of the New York State Education Department (SED).
For your information, there are now ten foreign medical schools on the list
approved by SED. That is, graduates of these schools are eligible for post-
graduate training positions in New York teaching hospitals even if they have
spent more than 12 weeks in a clinical clerkship in another country. The
approved schools are:
American University of the Caribbean
