SD 1823 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act improving healthcare delivery for underserved residents of the commonwealth

This bill amends Massachusetts law to update the requirements for limited medical registration, which allows certain healthcare professionals to practice under supervision in specific facilities. The changes primarily affect internationally trained physicians and other applicants by clarifying the educational and clinical training needed to obtain this restricted license. Under the new provisions, individuals must demonstrate completion of specific premedical and medical studies, including options for foreign medical graduates, and secure an appointment at a designated hospital or clinic within the state. The legislation also outlines where these limited registrants can work, restricting their practice to the specific institutions listed on their certificates or to affiliated training programs.
