Although I passed step 1 and 2 in 1997, the medical board in WA allowed me to take step 3. Because they allow us to take step 3 only once even if it takes more than 7 years since we took first step 1 or step 2. There are not many state medical boards allowing us to do that. Now I moved to other state. As you know, most state boards say we need to finish all steps within 7 years. My question is: Do I still have to retake step 1 and step 2 in order to obtain medical license in other states? Can I obtain new medical license based on medical license which was obtained from other states. I would appreciate it if anyone can give me a sense. Thanks in advance.

But as you know, most states have different criteria. I would check with the specific state you plan to practice in. Let us know here what you find out if you can. Good question.
