Best Answer

Licensure and certification. All States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories license physicians. To be licensed, physicians must graduate from an accredited medical school, pass a licensing examination, and complete 1 to 7 years of graduate medical education. Although physicians licensed in one State usually can get a license to practice in another without further examination, some States limit reciprocity. Graduates of foreign medical schools generally can qualify for licensure after passing an examination and completing a U.S. residency.

Why are there so many no prescription online pharmacies if it's apparently illegal?

It is illegal to operate a no prescription pharmacy within US borders, which is why these pharmacies operate outside of the US, usually in Mexico or Canada. It is not illegal to buy prescription strength medication over the internet. Many well known pharmacies such as NationMedication sell legal prescriptions online via US licensed pharmacies and use US licensed doctors to issue such prescriptions.

Why don't the dentists in Algodones Mexico practice in the US?

First, they probably don't have a US license to practice in the USA. Second, why should they? They probably live the same standard of living in Mexico charging Mexican prices as US dentists in the USA have, and they don't have all of the bureaucratic b.s. to deal with.
