A. Pursuant to Section 73-25-23, Mississippi Code, a limited institutional license is available only to graduates of foreign medical schools who are employed or are being considered for employment to practice medicine in one or more Mississippi state-supported institutions located in the same county.

B. It is understood that graduates of foreign medical schools holding a limited institutional license, and who are employed by and enrolled in an approved ACGME or AOA postgraduate training program at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, shall be authorized to participate in any postgraduate educational program at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, or any of its affiliated training program sites.

C. An application for limited institutional licensure may be obtained only upon the written request of the director of the state-supported institution which has employed or is considering employing a graduate of a foreign medical school to practice medicine.

D. A limited institutional license may be issued for a period of one (1) year for practice in a particular institution after a review and favorable recommendations by a majority of the following:

1. President or Secretary, Board of Trustees of Institution

2. Director of Institution

3. President or Secretary, Local Chartered Medical Society in area in which institution is located

4. Member, Board of Trustees, Mississippi State Medical Association in area in which institution is located

5. Member, Mississippi State Board of Medical Licensure from district in which institution is located

E. In addition to the above requirements for a limited institutional license, an applicant shall meet the following requirements:

1. Must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age and of good moral character.

2. Must present original diploma from a reputable medical college or reputable college of osteopathic medicine.

F. Pursuant to Section 73-25-23, Mississippi Code, a limited institutional license must be renewed annually, after such review as the State Board of Medical Licensure considers necessary. A graduate of a foreign medical school so licensed may hold such limited institutional license no longer than five (5) years; provided, however, that any graduate of a foreign medical school so licensed and employed by any state institution on January 1, 1981, shall not be subject to the five-year limitation created by statute. Based upon the above law:

1. The limited institutional licenses of graduates of foreign medical schools so licensed and employed by a state institution on January 1, 1981, shall be renewable annually based upon the favorable recommendation of the director of the institution by which the licensee is employed.

2. The limited institutional licenses of graduates of foreign medical schools so licensed and employed by a state institution from January 2, 1981, through June 30, 1983, shall be renewable annually for five years, beginning July 1, 1983, based upon the favorable recommendation of the director of the institution by which the licensee is employed.

3. The limited institutional licenses of graduates of foreign medical schools so licensed and employed by a state institution on and after July 1, 1983, shall be renewable annually based upon the favorable recommendation of the director of the institution by which the licensee is employed. A graduate of a foreign medical school so licensed may hold such limited institutional license no longer than five (5) years.

G. Since a limited institutional license is issued to a graduate of a foreign medical school for employment to practice medicine in a particular Mississippi state-supported institution, or institutions located in the same county, such limited institutional license shall become void immediately upon termination of employment of the licensee at the institution, or institutions, at which practice is authorized under the license.

H. An annual renewal fee shall be prescribed by the Board.
