AI Summary

This bill aims to expedite the physician licensure process in Massachusetts. It requires the state medical board to implement procedures to review and process license applications within 90 days of submission. Additionally, if the board does not make a determination on a renewal application within 90 days, the bill mandates the board to issue a temporary registration to the physician, allowing them to complete the credentialing and privileging process at the hospital where they work or will be employed. The bill seeks to ensure timely physician licensure and credentialing, which is important for patient access to healthcare services.
