SECTION 435:10-11-3. Procedure for special licensure

(a)   Absent Board determination of exceptional qualifications and need to warrant special licensure, effective June 9, 2004 only special licenses for training will be issued by the Board. Persons issued special licenses prior to June 9, 2004 may continue to apply for renewal.

(b)   No person granted a special license to practice medicine or surgery in this state shall practice outside the scope of the special license. Any practice outside the scope of a special license shall be deemed to be the unlicensed practice of medicine or surgery. The Secretary is authorized to seek injunctive action to prevent any person from violating terms or limitations of a special license granted by the Board.

(c)   Upon application for renewal, the Secretary shall review all special licenses granted on an annual basis to determine if such license should be renewed by the Board or amended as to its terms or limitations. In addition, the Board may grant the holder of a special license a license without practice limitation when appropriate.
