PenaltySection 6526 of Education Law specifies the persons who, under certain limitations, may practice medicine within the State without a license. Subsection 8 of Section 6526 provides that “Any medical student who is performing a clinical clerkship or similar function in a hospital and who is matriculated in a medical school which meets standards satisfactory to the department, provided such practice is limited to such clerkship or similar function in such hospital” may practice medicine without a license. As indicated above, the Commissioner’s Regulations provide that only duly accredited medical schools and those which have been reviewed and approved by the Department for the purpose of placing students in clinical clerkships, meet standards satisfactory to the Department. Foreign medical students engaged in clerkships in this State without proper authorization or in a facility other than a teaching hospital are in violation of Education Law. Questions regarding State Education Department regulations relating to clinical clerkships, letters of eligibility or exemption, MSKP certificates and required fees should be addressed to: Mr. Thomas J. Monahan, Executive Secretary 89 Washington Avenue, 2nd Floor-West Wing
