(1)

(A) Is a graduate of a medical school located in the United States or Canada accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education or of a medical education program accredited by the American Osteopathic Association, or

(B) is a graduate of a medical school located outside the United States or Canada and has received the degree of doctor of medicine, osteopathic medicine or its equivalent and satisfies educational requirements specified in regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter and has either (i) successfully completed all components of a "fifth pathway program" conducted by an American medical school accredited by the American Medical Association or the American Osteopathic Association, or (ii) received certification from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates;

(2) has successfully completed not less than two years of progressive graduate medical training as a resident physician in a program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, the American Osteopathic Association or an equivalent program approved by the board with the consent of the department; and

The department may, under such regulations as the Commissioner of Public Health may adopt, with the advice and assistance of the appropriate board, deny eligibility for licensure to a graduate who has been found to have provided fraudulent or inaccurate documentation regarding either the graduate's school's educational program or academic credentials or to have failed to meet educational standards as prescribed in such regulations.

The functions reposed in board do not involve an improper delegation of power. 116 C. 416. Applicant precluded by former judgments from relitigating the questions determined when his license was revoked. 126 C. 218. Under former statute, it was not necessary for approval of license issued in another state that applicant have such a diploma as was necessary to take the Connecticut examination; and in the case of such an application, the words "may accept" were construed as mandatory. 130 C. 93.
