INTERNATIONAL APPLICANT CHECK
Can an international surgeon apply?
≈Partially published
International applicants
The host's Missouri-licensure section requires ECFMG certification, all three USMLE steps within seven years and three years of orthopaedic residency or fellowship in a US-accredited programme. An Indonesian residency alone therefore does not satisfy the published clinical-licensure route.
