Missouri Revised Statutes Title XXII. Occupations and Professions § 334.045. Temporary license granted, when, fee--conditional temporary license issued, when, limitations, expires when--no renewal

1. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the board may grant a temporary license to any graduate of a reputable medical college or osteopathic college to practice as a physician and surgeon in hospitals approved by the board, who meets such other requirements as the board may prescribe by rule and regulation.

2. The temporary license provided for in subsection 1 of this section shall limit the right of the licensee to practice only in hospitals approved by the board, under the supervision of the superintendent or chief of staff of such institution, and shall be renewable in the discretion and with the approval of the board; provided, however, that no fees for services rendered shall be charged by the temporary licensee nor by the hospital where he is employed for services performed by such temporary licensee. A temporary license fee shall accompany the original application for temporary license and a similar amount shall be paid in the event the temporary license is renewed.

3. Prior to receiving all the necessary documents as required in section 334.031, the board may grant a conditional temporary license to any medical or osteopathic school graduate who is a first-time candidate in this state for temporary licensure. The conditional temporary license shall only be issued upon the board's receipt of such documentary assurances as are reasonably available from the medical or osteopathic institution to demonstrate that the candidate will fulfill the actual requirements of section 334.031, and in situations where a first-time candidate for licensure would otherwise be unable to receive a temporary license in time to begin his or her training program. The conditional temporary license shall limit the licensee to practice in the same manner as a temporary licensee and shall automatically expire either one hundred twenty days from the date of issuance or upon the issuance of a temporary license and shall not be renewed.
