Licensing requirements modification for eminent physicians
This bill modifies Minnesota's medical licensing laws to allow physicians who serve as faculty at accredited medical schools to receive a full and unrestricted license. To qualify, these doctors must complete their service agreement while practicing medicine, maintain good standing with the state, and provide recommendations from both a qualified physician and their current employer. Additionally, the bill requires them to pass specific steps of the national medical licensing examinations within three attempts and complete 20 hours of continuing medical education. The changes directly affect physicians employed by medical schools in Minnesota who are currently operating under restricted licenses.
