Requiring the state board of healing arts to grant provisional licensure to certain international physicians with offers of employment at healthcare providers operating in Kansas.

Summary

The bill would have the Kansas Board of Healing Arts issue temporary medical licenses to international physicians who have an employment offer from a Kansas health provider and meet specific education, exam and immigration criteria. The provisional license would become a full license after three years of practice, and could be revoked if the doctor loses the Kansas job. The measure aimed to expand physician access but died in committee.
