Modifies provisions relating to physician licensure
HB 3352 modifies Missouri's physician licensure rules to create two new license types. It allows temporary licenses (up to 12 months) for physicians teaching/lecturing in accredited Missouri medical programs, and transitional licenses (up to 3 years) for physicians with lapsed licenses (after ≤10 years) or foreign-trained physicians certified by ECFMG. Both require meeting most permanent licensure standards but allow waivers for specific experience, and applicants must pass the SPEX exam if required. The bill explicitly prohibits using these licenses for general temporary medical work ("locum tenens"). It does not change standard licensure pathways for most physicians.
