Bill > HB3352

This bill modifies provisions related to physician licensure by allowing the board to grant temporary licenses to qualified physicians teaching or lecturing at accredited medical schools or hospitals, enabling them to provide patient care services directly related to their teaching roles for up to twelve months, provided they meet permanent licensure requirements and their credentials are recognized, but this does not permit locum tenens or itinerant practices. It also introduces a new provision for transitional licenses, which can be granted to physicians sponsored by an accredited medical school in the state who have practiced for at least two years in Missouri or another state with a lapsed license of no more than ten years, or who have practiced for at least two years in a foreign country as a licensed physician certified by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) and have completed at least three years of postgraduate training in a country with similar or higher requirements. Both temporary and transitional licenses can potentially lead to a permanent license if the physician meets specific criteria, including holding the temporary or transitional license for a minimum period, being employed by a sponsoring institution, and potentially passing the Special Purpose Examination (SPEX), with the board having discretion over granting waivers and any refusal being non-appealable.
