Hi,
I did my medical school in India, Internal medicine residency in US and am currently doing my fellowship in Internal medicine subspeciality in US. I wanted to get California Physician's licence, but they have minimum of 4 weeks of psychiatry rotation requirement in medical school in order to get California licence. I have done 2 weeks. Now by reading online posts, I have figured that they also allow neurology rotation as a substitute for psychiatry rotation to make up for total of 4 weeks in psychiatry.
Does anyone know that if I have done 2 weeks in neurology in ACGME accrediated program in US during my Internal medicine residency, does that work for the psychiatry rotation requirement or do I have to do psychiatry rotation only in my medical school or in US but only where my licencing analyst tells me to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I would like to hear some comment on the post by volcano11. My query is similar- I have done 2 weeks psychiatry rotation during medical school. I have been offered a job in CA. How do I complete the requirement and apply for CA license ? Any alternatives instead of going back to index medical school ?
Thanks.
