hey y'all

researching to go trade in my aussie for my md license here and i have a question. i researched it something like 6 months ago while in australia and remember reading about having to take and pass the test to get the license once here. i also read something about a mandatory drug and alcohol (or something like this) course, problem is now i can't find anything saying this on the mva website. can someone confirm if i was or was not dreaming? thanks,

jodie.
