ND SB2270

Creates a provisional licensure program allowing international physicians to practice medicine in North Dakota if they have a job offer from an in-state health care provider, pass all three steps of the U.S. medical licensing examination, and obtain certification from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates

Requires international physicians to have either completed a residency program or have seven years of practice experience as a physician after earning their medical degree, plus maintained good standing with their home country's licensing authority within the previous five years

Provisional licenses automatically convert to full medical licenses after three years of active practice in North Dakota

Allows revocation of provisional licenses if the physician leaves employment with a North Dakota health care provider during the provisional period or violates state medical, safety, or conduct standards, with appeals to district court within 120 days

Authorizes the State Board of Medicine to verify training equivalency, conduct background investigations, and collect fees; permits physicians to apply before receiving federal work authorization but prohibits practice until authorization is obtained
