				applicant who otherwise meets all requirements for licensure except successful
				completion:

				requirements provided in Part 2605, Chapter 1, Rule
				1.1 or Chapter 2, Rule
				2.1; and/or

				  which the resident needs to rotate as part of their otherwise approved training
				  program. Programs may petition the Board, via its Executive Committee, to
				  approve those affiliated Mississippi locations such that residents of those
				  programs may apply for a temporary license in order to rotate at those
				  facilities.

				  documentation that would assist the Board in determining the approval status of
				  the program.
