Re: getting residency position TheOne - 02-05-08 16:19 1- Residency training, under the law "No one is allowed to practice medicein in the United States without a license" and you can't get that license without an ACGME-accridited residency training.
2- To be a candidate for a PGY-2 or higher levels you need to be done with at least 1 Year of an ACGME-accridited training in the same field or speacilaty you're seeking (aka done with PGY-1 before advancing to PGY-2).
3- As I explained on my answer no.1, everyone should go to the Match, residency in order to practice here. Both persons, with and without "ten years of clinical practice" should go through the process.
