As-a result of conferences between the States of New Jersey, Michigan, and Ohio, formal agree- ments for reciprocity in medical licensure have been entered into between the States of New York and New Jersey, Michigan, and Ohio, during the school year just closed. The basis upon which reciprocity obtains between these States is a license earned on examination in either one of them. The candidate for endorsement of a medical license must present credentials from the officials of the State board of medical examin- ers which licensed him, showing that at the time of such application he is a reputable practitioner. Provision is made for the inspection of the qualifi- cations of an applicant either personally or profes- sionally when there are reasonable doubts of his qualifications, and an applicant presenting a license issued prior to the establishment of reciprocity may be required to submit the original papers on which the license was granted or certified copies thereof. Only an original State license can be endorsed. The preliminary education required for admission to the medical schools must be the same in each State, and the certification of the education depart- ment of the State as to the standards maintained by secondary schools will be accepted by the education department of the other States. The standards to be required of secondary schools without those States must be fully equivalent to those required within the States, and such standards shall be de- termined in joint conference between the education departments of the States, the registered list of New York State remaining in force till a joint list be- comes operative.
