A resolution demanding that refugee doctors not be permitted to practice before they acquire United States citizenship, was adopted here last night by the House of Delegates of the New York State Medical Society.

The resolution also demanded that the Board of Regents “limit the number of examinations that may be taken by any candidate for licensure to practice medicine to three in all.” It also urges the Regents to refuse to admit to examination for a license any graduate of a foreign medical school 25 or more percent of whose graduates taking the examination during the last ten years have failed to pass.
