If her med school is on the WHO list, why would it take 4-7 years for her to get her license? It makes sense that the other steps you described would take some significant time, but 4 years or more? She might as well start med school from the beginnng.

Comment:

The American Medical Association and their cronies in government make getting a state license to practice medicine as hard as possible.

After she completes all of the certifications, examinations and paid all the outlandish fees she still has to enter a residency program.

The shortest residency program is three years and can be longer than seven depending on the specialization.

As I said, I know many foreign resident doctors and most require several years to complete the process.

There is nothing etched in stone that even if she passes all the exams and gets certification she would right away get into a residency program.

She would be an extraordinary human being to have a state license in less than three years.

The system in this country is not kind to foreign doctors.

If she attended a specialization residency in her home country that would be wasted and totally worthless in this country.

It's all about money and the foreign doctor pays dearly to work in this country.
