A.Mississippi
temporary medical or podiatric licenses may be issued to applicants for
licensure in Mississippi under the following conditions:
1. A restricted temporary medical or
podiatric license may be issued upon proper completion of an application to an
applicant who otherwise meets all requirements for licensure except successful
completion:
a. of the postgraduate training
requirements provided in Part 2605, Chapter 1, Rule
1.1 or Chapter 2, Rule
2.1; and/or
b. of Step 3 of USMLE, Level 3 of COMLEX, or
Part 3 of the APMLE.
Such restricted temporary license shall entitle the physician
to practice medicine or podiatric medicine only within the confines of an
ACGME, AOA or APMA approved postgraduate training program in this state and may
be renewed annually for the duration of the postgraduate training for a period
not to exceed five (5) years.
Residents typically practice within the confines of an ACGME,
AOA or APMA approved postgraduate training program which may be located in
another state, and which meets all requirements as described above. These
programs sometimes have affiliated institutions (i.e., hospitals or clinics)
located in Mississippi which are not ACGME, AOA or APMA approved sites, but in
which the resident needs to rotate as part of their otherwise approved training
program. Programs may petition the Board, via its Executive Committee, to
approve those affiliated Mississippi locations such that residents of those
programs may apply for a temporary license in order to rotate at those
facilities.
B. The Board may issue a temporary license to
practice medicine for a period not to exceed 90 days at a youth camp licensed
by the State Department of Health to any nonresident physician who is not
licensed to practice medicine in this state or to any resident physician who is
retired from the active practice of medicine in this state while serving as a
volunteer at such camp.
1. Nonresident
Physician
a. must have favorable references
from two physicians with whom the applicant has worked or trained within the
last year;
b. must have written
certification from the medical licensing authority in the state in which he or
she holds a currently valid license to practice medicine; and
c. must submit fee prescribed by the
Board.
2. Retired
Resident Physician
a. must be in good standing
with the Board, and
b. must submit
fee as prescribed by the Board.
C. Any licensee issued a temporary license to
practice medicine who prescribes controlled substances must have and utilize
their own, individual controlled substance registration certificate issued by
the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
