Establishes a pathway for internationally trained physicians to practice in New York, leading to full licensure.

This program allows these physicians to gain supervised experience in participating healthcare facilities, ultimately leading to full licensure. The bill aims to address the physician shortage and underutilization of skilled medical professionals. It mandates annual reporting on the program's status and requires the state board for medicine to develop necessary regulations.
