Medical Licensing in Oregon
Hi

Your statements about medical licensing in Oregon are incorrect. There are many foreign institutions whose qualifications are perfectly acceptable in the State of Oregon.

The definition of what constitutes a recognised academic degree for the State of Oregon is in Oregon State Law 348.609(1).

348.609 Representation of possession of academic degree; complaints; civil penalties; rules; fees.
 * (1) A person who has been warned by the Oregon Student Assistance Commission, through the Office of Degree Authorization, to cease and desist may not claim or represent that the person possesses any academic degree unless the degree has been awarded to or conferred upon the person by a school that:
 * (a) Has accreditation recognized by the United States Department of Education or the foreign equivalent of such accreditation;
 * (b) Has been approved by the Oregon Student Assistance Commission through the Office of Degree Authorization to offer and confer degrees in Oregon;
 * (c) Is described in ORS 348.597; or
 * (d) Is located in the United States and has been found by the commission to meet standards of academic quality comparable to those of an institution located in the United States that has accreditation, recognized by the United States Department of Education, to offer degrees of the type and level claimed by the person.

Any foreign (to the USA) medical school that meets the requirements set out in this law may issue degrees that are accepted for licensing of physicians in Oregon. DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 00:49, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
