	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1838, Bonilla. Healing arts: medical school accreditation.
   Existing law, the Medical Practice Act, provides for the licensure
and regulation of physicians and surgeons by the Medical Board of
California. Existing law requires each applicant for a physician's
and surgeon's certificate to show by official transcript or other
official evidence satisfactory to the Division of Licensing that he
or she has successfully completed a specified medical curriculum that
meets certain clinical instruction requirements extending over a
period of at least 4 academic years, or 32 months of actual
instruction, in a medical school, as specified.
   This bill, notwithstanding any other law, would provide that a
medical school or medical school program accredited by the Liaison
Committee on Medical Education, the Committee on Accreditation of
Canadian Medical Schools, or the Commission on Osteopathic College
Accreditation is deemed to meet the requirements described above.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 2084.5 is added to the Business and Professions
Code, to read:
   2084.5.  Notwithstanding any other law, a medical school or
medical school program accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical
Education, the Committee on Accreditation of Canadian Medical
Schools, or the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation shall
be deemed to meet the requirements of Sections 2089 and 2089.5.
