Bridge year physician, lmtd license
OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING – Adds to existing law to provide for limited licenses for medical school graduates who are not accepted into a residency program.

RS30115C2 / H0062

This Legislation directs the Idaho Board of Medicine to create a limited license for medical school graduates who have not yet matched with a residency program and designate them as "bridge year physicians." These bridge year physicians can fill gaps in Idaho’s current healthcare provider workforce. This bill establishes license length, eligibility, qualifications, permitted duties and supervision requirements.

This legislation will have no impact on the state's general fund. Fees collected for the limited license will offset any costs of administration required by the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing dedicated fund.
