Med Board Head Urges Ban on Reoccurring Test Failures
Princeton West Virginia, Frank J. Holroyd, chairman of the state Board of Medicine, argues foreign trained doctors who repeatedly fail the Federation Licensing Examination should not be allowed to practice. A report shows 42 foreigners hold temporary licenses despite FLEX failures, including one who has flunked 17 times. The law allows temporary licenses pending repeated testing, prompting debate over extending licenses beyond 1984. Senators Thomlin and Chafin plan to address the issue next year.
