IC 25-22.5-5-2: Licenses without examination

Sec. 2. (a) The board in its discretion may register as a physician and may issue by endorsement an unlimited license to practice medicine or osteopathic medicine to any applicant who has:

(1) complied with the minimum requirements of IC 25-22.5-3; and

(2) passed an examination:

(A) for licensure in another state or territory of the United States, or Canada; or

(B) given by a recognized certifying agency approved by the board;

if that examination was, in the opinion of the board, equivalent in every respect to Indiana's examination at the time it was taken.

(b) The board may refuse to issue a license or may issue a probationary license to an applicant for licensure under this section if:

(1) the applicant has been disciplined by an administrative agency in another state or jurisdiction; and

(2) the board determines that the violation for which the applicant was disciplined has a direct bearing on the applicant's ability to practice competently as a physician in Indiana.
