AB The tables referring to medical licensure (Tables 1, 2, 6, and 7, and Appendix Tables 1 and 2) present figures pertaining to the number of candidates examined, the number licensed, and the number representing additions to the physician population. In line with the policy adopted for the first time in the 64th report, osteopathic physicians granted the privilege to practice medicine and surgery by medical examining boards are not included among MD licentiates in Table 1, but are tabulated separately with the osteopathic physicians issued unlimited licenses by all authorized examining boards (Table 2). Other data pertain to the regulations for medical licensure of physicians who secured their professional training in the United States and Canada and for those educated in other countries. The state boards are discussed first, followed by the basic science boards, the National Board of Medical Examiners, and the Educational Council for Foreign Medical Graduates.The
