In some states of the United States, physicians may usually obtain a general medical license to practice medicine without supervision after completing one year of internship in the state of their license. Many residents have medical licenses and do legally practice medicine without supervision ("moonlight") in settings such as urgent care centers and rural hospitals. However, in most residency-related settings, residents are supervised by attending physicians who must approve of their decision-making
Thanks for that. There's still a discrepancy. Greer says he started med school in the Fall of 1980, or at the latest in 1981, so he ought to have graduated 4 years later in 1984 or maybe 1985, but the license information provided by Hal 9000 say he graduated in 1987 and COMPLETED his residency in 1988, and got a license in 1988. So there's a three year gap in there for attending med school--he took LONGER than normal, and a two year gap in the normal three year residency--he took SHORTER than normal. Either he took seven years to finish med school, or? all with no visible means of support. I'm not claiming there's anything weird enough to be worthy, but the dates here still don't add up very well.
