(1) graduated from a board approved school or completed a program determined by the board to be substantially equivalent to a U.S. medical school or college of osteopathic medicine;

(2) passed part I of the United States medical licensing examination (USMLE) or the comprehensive osteopathic medical licensing examination (COMLEX); and

(3) be of good moral character.

B. Required documentation: Each applicant shall submit the required fee as specified in 16.10.9.8 NMAC and complete the board-approved application.

(1) Applicants enrolled at the university of New Mexico health science center must submit an application through the office of graduate medical education for review before it is forwarded to the board for review and approval.

(2) Applicants enrolled at a board-approved training program outside New Mexico must submit the postgraduate training license application directly to the board.

(3) A copy of the official examination results must be attached to each application.

C. Licensure process: Upon receipt of a completed signed application and fee, a member or agent of the board will review the application and may approve the license. The applicant may be scheduled for a personal interview before the board, a board member designated by the board, or an agent of the board.

D. License expiration: Postgraduate training licenses are valid for no longer than one year, but may be renewed for a period not to exceed eight years or completion of the residency, whichever is shorter, and as long as the license holder is enrolled in a board approved training program. Postgraduate training licenses may be renewed prior to expiration.
