MT SB347

Creates a new "resident" license category for physicians enrolled in approved residency programs, requiring them to hold a valid resident license to practice medicine in Montana rather than operating under a licensing exemption

Removes the previous exemption that allowed interns and resident physicians to render services in hospitals or clinics without a license while training

Allows physicians to obtain full licensure after completing just the first year (PGY-1) of an approved residency program, provided they remain enrolled and in good standing, rather than requiring completion of the entire residency

Eliminates "approved internship" as a defined term and removes related provisions, consolidating training requirements under the residency framework

Adds new definitions for "PGY" (post-graduate year) and "PGY-1" (first curriculum year of approved residency) to clarify residency training terminology
