148.5 - RESIDENT PHYSICIAN LICENSE.
148.5 RESIDENT PHYSICIAN LICENSE.
A physician, who is a graduate of a medical school or college of
osteopathic medicine and surgery and is serving as a resident
physician who is not otherwise licensed to practice medicine and
surgery or osteopathic medicine and surgery in this state, shall be
required to obtain from the board a license to practice as a resident
physician. The license shall be designated "Resident Physician
License" and shall authorize the licensee to serve as a resident
physician only, under the supervision of a licensed practitioner of
medicine and surgery or osteopathic medicine and surgery, in an
institution approved for such training by the board. A license shall
be valid for a duration as determined by the board. The fee for each
license shall be set by the board to cover the administrative costs
of issuing the license. The board shall determine in each instance
those eligible for a license, whether or not examinations shall be
given, and the type of examinations. Requirements of the law
pertaining to regular permanent licensure shall not be mandatory for
a resident physician license except as specifically designated by the
board. The granting of a resident physician license does not in any
way indicate that the person licensed is necessarily eligible for
regular permanent licensure, or that the board in any way is
obligated to license the individual. Section History: Early Form
