Section 1-6 - Temporary license

(a) Temporary license to practice medicine means a license to practice medicine for a limited duration issued pursuant to these rules. A temporary license is effective from the date of issuance until the later of a vote of board members on the application pursuant to these rules, or 8:00 a.m. on the first day of the next regularly-scheduled board meeting. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, temporary licenses issued less than fifteen (15) business days prior to the next regularly-scheduled board meeting will be valid until the later of a vote of board members on the application pursuant to these rules, or 8:00 a.m. on first day of the second regularly-scheduled board meeting after issuance.

(b) If a temporary license is issued to an applicant, but the application is not complete by fifteen (15) business days of the next regularly-scheduled board meeting after issuance of the temporary license, the temporary license shall be extended on the day of the regularly-scheduled board meeting for an additional term no longer than 8:00 am on the first day of the next regularly-scheduled board meeting after extension of the temporary license. The holder of a temporary license may receive no more than one (1) automatic extension of the temporary license under this subsection. In addition to any automatic extensions of the temporary license granted under this subsection, upon written request received from the applicant not less than seven (7) days before expiration of the temporary license, the executive director may grant an extension of the temporary license for an additional term no longer than 8:00 am on the first day of the next regularly-scheduled board meeting.

(c) If, upon review of the application of a person who is granted a temporary license, one or more board members request that the holder of the temporary license appear for a licensure interview, the executive director may extend the temporary license held by that person until 8:00 a.m. on the first day of the second regularly-scheduled board meeting after issuance of the temporary license.

(d) All applicants who are granted a temporary license under Section 5(b)(i) of this chapter are required to submit all documentation and materials necessary to ensure that their license application is complete in accordance with Section 4 of this chapter. Failure to have a complete license application within 180 days of issuance of a temporary license may result in referral of the application to the application review committee for consideration of bringing proceedings to deny the application upon stated reasons pursuant to W.S. 33-26-202(b)(i) following the procedure set forth in Chapter 7 of these Rules.
