Modifies provisions relating to the licensure of physicians
SCS Voted Do Pass S Emerging Issues and Professional Registration Committee (5640S.02C)
Summary
The bill rewrites Missouri’s physician licensing rules so that anyone applying for a medical license must submit a criminal background check, proof of education and training, and disclose any other medical licenses and past investigations or sanctions. It also allows the licensing board to accept certain national exam certificates instead of its own exam and to request reports from national practitioner databases. The changes are intended to verify the moral character and qualifications of doctors seeking to practice in the state.
