SB2803113th GA (Historical)Introduced

Amends TCA Title 63.

Present law authorizes the board of medical examiners ("board") to issue a temporary license of limited duration to an international medical school graduate with demonstrated competency. A temporary license may be issued by the board in its discretion as special circumstances may require. The board may promulgate rules prescribing any other conditions or requirements with respect to the issuance of such a temporary license. This bill revises the provisions above to, instead, authorize the board may issue a temporary license of limited duration to an international medical school graduate upon finding sufficient evidence that the international medical school graduate: (1) Demonstrated competency as determined by the board; (2) Completed a three-year postgraduate training program in the graduate's licensing country; or (3) Has otherwise practiced as a medical professional performing the duties of a physician for at least four of the last six years outside of the United States.
