(1) Any graduate of a reputable medical or osteopathic college who is properly enrolled and duly licensed to participate in a program of graduate medical or osteopathic education in an accredited program in a contiguous state who also acts as a resident in Missouri as part of the educational experience offered by that program shall apply for a provisional temporary license before the board will consider authorizing him/her to practice as a physician and surgeon in this state.

(2) An applicant is required to make application upon a form (see 20 CSR 2150-2.060) prepared by the board.

(3) No application will be considered unless fully and completely made out on the specified form and properly attested.

(4) An applicant shall present, properly attached to the application blank, with the application one (1) photograph not larger than three and one-half inches by five inches (3 1/2" x 5").

(5) An applicant shall present evidence to the board that they hold a current license to practice as a physician and surgeon in another state.

(6) The board shall charge each person applying for a provisional temporary license to practice as a physician and surgeon in Missouri an appropriate fee established by the board. The fee shall be sent in the form of a bank draft, post office money order or express money order. Personal checks will not be accepted.

(7) The board may terminate a provisional temporary license at its own discretion.

(8) An applicant must file photostatic copies and official translations of his/her medical credentials with the application.

(9) The application shall be submitted by the director of the applicant's residency program. The application shall be submitted to the executive director of the State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts, PO Box 4, Jefferson City, MO 65102. This requirement does not relieve the applicant from the responsibility for the filing of the application and no applicant shall begin practicing until the provisional temporary license is issued.

(11) The provisional temporary license automatically expires at the end of the applicant's Missouri-based training program identified in the application. No provisional temporary licensee shall continue to practice beyond the expiration date of the license unless the license has been properly renewed.
