Louisiana HB1160 establishes a restricted rural physician license for international medical graduates who meet certain requirements. Eligible physicians must hold a medical degree from a recognized school, complete a supervision period, and pass required exams and background checks. They must practice in designated rural or medically underserved areas and cannot own a medical practice during the restricted licensure period. After five years of continuous practice in these areas, the physician may apply for a full and unrestricted license.
