The board may issue a temporary license to physicians licensed in other states or jurisdictions for the purpose of teaching, conducting research, performing specialized diagnostic and treatment procedures, implementing new technology, or for physician educational purposes in New Mexico on a temporary basis under the supervision of a New Mexico licensed physician.

A.Prerequisites for licensure: The applicant must:

(1) be otherwise qualified to practice medicine in New Mexico;

(2) hold an unrestricted license in another state or country;

(3) submit the name of the sponsoring or associating physician(s), who must be actively licensed in New Mexico.

B.Required documentation:

(1) specific program or protocol of work planned;

(2) address of sponsoring institution or organization where the work will be performed;

(3) an affidavit from the sponsoring physician attesting to the qualifications of the applicant and the purpose of the functions or medical procedures the applicant will perform;

(4) verification of licensure in state or jurisdiction where physician is practicing; and

(5) a license fee as set forth in 16.10.9 NMAC.

C.Licensure process: Upon receipt of a completed signed application, including all required documentation and fees, board staff will request and review an AMA physician profile and FSMB board action databank search. When the application is complete, a member or agent of the board will review and may approve the application. A personal interview is not required unless there is a discrepancy in the application that cannot be resolved or if there are any actions or restrictions on any license held in another state or jurisdiction.

D. The applicant may perform only those functions listed in the application. The supervising physician must notify the board and obtain approval prior to any change in the activities of the temporary license holder.

E. The duration of a temporary teaching, research, or specialized diagnostic and treatment license shall not exceed three months, provided however that the license may be renewed up to three times upon payment of appropriate fees and written justification for the plan remaining in effect. After the third renewal of a temporary license, the physician shall re-apply under the provisions of this rule.
