The New Rules of Medical
Licensing
Getting a
license today
It is the primary mission of the Boards to protect the public by
licensing physicians who demonstrate not only clinical competence to
practice medicine, but the requisite professional and ethical
demeanor necessary to lead the modern health care delivery team. To
that end state boards have now developed application procedures
which are very thorough so that they can maintain confidence that
their licensees will benefit the community in which they practice.
Balancing the states dramatic need for physicians, with the public
mandate of quality and professional excellence, Boards have worked
tirelessly to modernize the application process.
What Does This Mean For You?
- Individual state eligibility requirements.
Holding a license in one state no longer means you can
get a license in another state. In fact, some states will make
you take an $800, four-hundred question general medicine exam if
you don’t meet specific eligibility minimums.
-
Detailed and
lengthy applications and forms. Usually you’ll spend
6-8 hours running
around gathering information and trying to get all the paperwork
done, worrying about time consuming letter writing, trying to
find time to wade through the state requirements, laws &
rules and complete applications & forms.
-
Extensive
phoning and follow-up. The verification process is detailed and
will leave you completing forms to verify your education,
training, work history and credentials.
To get the job done right you will need to spend an
inordinate amount of your business day making research and
follow-up phone calls. - The FCVS was created as a resource to assist
with the credentials verification process, however, it is not
required by most boards and can cost you an extra $450, double
the paperwork and delay your license by three months.
Before you apply for an FCVS profile, you must know what
it does…and what it leaves you doing.
- Increased credentials verification is
required and must be completed every time you apply for a
license. Additional
exams, CME and fingerprint background processes have also been
added.
- Long review timelines.
In most states it takes
4 months to get a
license. In states like
- The days of sending in an application and
fee and then calling the board are over.
Board staff cannot process your application until they
have all required verifications. The Boards leave it up to
you to ensure that all documents are submitted and that all 3rd
party verifications are completed properly. Processing of
your application is delayed
until all items are received.
In summary, this
new process of obtaining a state medical license has become
laborious, time consuming and lengthy and is a true test of ones
patience and persistence.
Getting a medical license now demands that you devote a
minimum of 8-10 hours to
research, paperwork, and tedious letter writing.
Not to mention the hair-pulling frustration of dealing with
the bureaucracy of record keeping, preservation and credentials
verification. It
involves filling out detailed and lengthy forms that need to be sent
out to different institutions and have to be followed up with phone
calls to administrative staff that are often overburdened with other
issues.
