V.I. Medical Licensure

All House Officers must have a valid LA Medical Permit/License/GETP for training. It is the House Officer's responsibility to contact the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners (LSBME) regarding licensure and to maintain a valid LA Medical License or permit during all training years. All questions regarding permits or licensure should be directed to the LSBME staff.
Licensure is available to graduates of medical school who complete the PGY 1 or PGY 2 year, pass USMLE Step 3 and meet all other requirements of the LSBME.
Graduates of Osteopathic Schools follow the same procedure as the MD graduate for interns and PGY2s, and must pass USMLE Step 3 or Complex 3 before proceeding to the PGY 3 year of training.
