A Physician/Surgeon's Certificate in California will require thirty-six (36) months with at least 24 consecutive months in the same program of ACGME (or Canada - RCPSC/CFPC)-accredited postgraduate training for all applicants regardless of whether the medical school attended was domestic or international.
