Current through June 25, 2024
The submission of an application for licensing to the Board
				  shall constitute and operate as an authorization by the applicant to each
				  educational institution at which the applicant has matriculated; each state or
				  federal agency to which the applicant has applied for any license, permit,
				  certificate or registration; each person, firm, corporation, clinic, office or
				  institution by whom or with whom the applicant has been employed in the
				  practice of medicine; each physician or other health care practitioner whom the
				  applicant has consulted or seen for diagnosis or treatment and each
				  professional organization or specialty board to which the applicant has applied
				  for membership, to disclose and release to the Board any and all information
				  and documentation concerning the applicant which the Board deems material to
				  consideration of the application. With respect to any such information or
				  documentation, the submission of an application for licensing to the Board
				  shall equally constitute and operate as a consent by the applicant to
				  disclosure and release of such information and documentation and as a waiver by
				  the applicant of any privilege or right of confidentiality which the applicant
				  would otherwise possess with respect thereto.
By submission of an application for licensing to the Board,
				  an applicant shall be deemed to have given his or her consent to submit to
				  physical or mental examinations if, when and in the manner so directed by the
				  Board and to waive all objections as to the admissibility or disclosure of
				  findings, reports or recommendations pertaining thereto on the grounds of
				  privileges provided by law. The expense of any such examination shall be borne
				  by the applicant.
The submission of an application for licensing to the Board
				  shall constitute and operate as an authorization and consent by the applicant
				  to the Board to disclose and release any information or documentation set forth
				  in or submitted with the applicant's application or obtained by the Board from
				  other persons, firms, corporations, associations or governmental entities
				  pursuant to Part 2601, Chapter 5, Rule 5.1 paragraphs 1 and 2, to any person,
				  firm, corporation, association or governmental entity having a lawful,
				  legitimate and reasonable need therefore, including, without limitation, the
				  medical licensing authority of any state; The Federation of State Medical
				  Boards of the United States, Incorporated; the American Medical Association and
				  any component state and county or parish medical society, including the
				  Mississippi State Medical Association and component societies thereof; the U.S.
				  Drug Enforcement Administration; the Mississippi State Bureau of Narcotics;
				  federal, state, county or municipal health and law enforcement agencies and the
				  Armed Services. It is the intent and purpose of this rule to authorize release
				  of only that licensure information not prohibited from release under Section
				  73-52-1,
				  Mississippi Code.
Upon submission of an application for licensure to the
				  Board, the applicant shall promptly provide all information deemed necessary by
				  the Board to process the application, including, but not limited to letters of
				  recommendation, certification of graduation from medical school, photograph of
				  applicant, internship certificate and birth certificate. The Board shall have a
				  reasonable period of time within which to collect and assimilate all required
				  documents and information necessary to issue a medical license. If, after
				  submitting an application for medical license, an applicant has failed to
				  respond or make a good faith effort to pursue licensure for a period of three
				  (3) months, the application will be considered null and void, and applicant
				  will have to reapply for licensure, including, but not limited to, all fees,
				  application, certifications, and references. Additionally, if after one year
				  from the date of receipt of application, applicant has not received a medical
				  license, the application will be considered null and void, and applicant will
				  have to reapply for licensure, including, but not limited to, all fees,
				  application, certifications, and references. Under no circumstances will the
				  one year time limit be waived.
