Establishes a pathway for international medical graduates to obtain physician licensure in Washington.

The bill creates a pathway for international medical graduates to obtain full and unrestricted physician licensure in Washington. This pathway includes supervised clinical practice, clinical assessments, and attestation from a supervising physician. The commission may also establish an abbreviated assessment program for exceptionally qualified international medical graduates. The commission recognizes Canadian medical school accreditation and national medical licensure exam as equivalent to U.S. standards.
