Medical Licenses in the US are transferable between states, because they are given based on a nationally standardized exam. If the doctor is already licensed in Illinois, and is moving to New York, she just has to contact the state licensing department, transfer her license number, and pay any associated fees. There are no additional exams beyond the 3 STEPS of the USMLE, which all MDs complete during Med School and Residency, and the Board Exams, which are completed right after Residency and Fellowship.
If the doctor is being hired by a hospital or group practice, often she just has to fill out paperwork with HR, and they will take care of the entire credentialing process on her behalf.
