This amendment modifies the international physician licensing provisions by clarifying scope statements, making license conversions discretionary rather than automatic, changing revocation to suspension in certain circumstances, and adjusting continuing education reporting requirements.
- Adds clarifying scope language 'In this article,' after subsection (ii) in the definitions section. (Page 2, line 12)
- Changes 'has been' to 'has been licensed' in the definition of international physicians to clarify they must have been licensed in their country. (Page 3, line 5)
- Adds clarifying scope language 'In this article,' after subsection (iv) in the definitions section. (Page 4, line 7)
- Adds the phrase 'if practicably available' to the criminal background investigation requirement, making it a qualified requirement. (Page 4, line 23)
- Changes the board's power from 'revoke' to 'suspend' a provisional license if the international physician is not employed by a health care provider during the provisional license period. (Page 5, line 15)
- Adds a provision establishing that if an international physician loses employment, the license is suspended until they obtain employment with another Wyoming health care provider, and the license is revoked if employment is not obtained within six months. (Page 5, line 18)
- Removes the language 'shall automatically be' so that provisional licenses no longer automatically convert to full licenses. (Page 6, line 4)
- Changes 'converted' to 'shall be eligible to apply to convert' so that conversion becomes discretionary and requires an application rather than automatic. (Page 6, line 5)
- Adds 'been' to clarify that the licensee has not been disciplined under the specified statutes. (Page 6, line 7)
- Removes the word 'annually' from the continuing education reporting requirement, making it not necessarily an annual obligation. (Page 6, line 13)
- Simplifies the continuing education compliance language by replacing 'required by the board in the manner' with 'comply with the'. (Page 6, lines 14-16)
- Ends the sentence after 'provider' with a period and removes the remainder of the line, eliminating reference to continuing medical education rules. (Page 7, line 12)
- Deletes the entire line 13, removing language about continuing medical education rules and regulations. (Page 7, line 13)
