Teleradiology and
Telemedicine. Radiologist and Locum Tenens Specialist have
utilized our services to obtain licenses in all 50 States. It is not
uncommon for MedLicense.com to provide nationwide licensure services
to Teleradiologist setting up Teleradiology practices to service all
50 States. Unfortunately there is not a National Teleradiology
License. Most States require that the physician have a license in
each State where the patients/physical care is being given. Some
States are now offering special Telemedicine Licenses and
Teleradiology Licenses. Telemedicine and Teleradiology is a
new field which the Medical Boards are now addressing. This
combined with the governmental and legal liability of treating
patients whom are not physically present in your State has opened
the door for considerable problems if a Board Complaint or
Malpractice Suit is filed against the Physician. Physician's
practicing Telemedicine and Teleradiology need to protect themselves
by obtaining a Full Medical License or Telemedicine License /
Teleradiology license in each State where they will be accepting
Telemedicine Patients and Teleradiology Contracts. The cost is
minimal compared to the risk of not being licensed. MedLicense.com
is experienced and capable to handling this scale of licensure.

Texas Medical Board being Sued for Misconduct by
Doctors' Group;
Cites Institutional Culture of Retaliation & Intimidation
TEXARKANA, Texas, Dec. 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The entire
Texas Medical Board (TMB) and its officials have been named in a
lawsuit filed by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons
(AAPS). The complaint, filed this week in District Court in
Texarkana, accuses the board of misconduct while performing its
official duties, specifically:
1. Manipulation of anonymous complaints;
2. Conflicts of interest;
3. Violation of due process;
4. Breach of privacy; and
5. Retaliation against those who speak out.
"The situation has reached the crisis point for patients and
doctors," said Jane M. Orient, M.D, Executive Director of AAPS. "Our
members are too afraid of retaliation to sue the Board as
individuals."
The lawsuit specifically points out misconduct by Roberta Kalafut,
the Board president. The law suit claims that Kalafut "arranged for
her husband to file anonymous complaints again other physicians,
including her competitors in Abilene..."
She then "...worked inside the TMB, with other defendants, to
discipline doctors based on anonymous complaints filed by her
physician husband."
The lawsuit also charges that Kalafut and Donald Patrick,
Executive Director, knew about the conflict of interest of Keith
Miller while he was Chair of the Disciplinary Process Review
Committee. Miller served as plaintiffs' witness in at least 50 cases
brought before the Board without disclosing that to the disciplined
doctors or the public.
During a marathon 11-and-a-half hour legislative hearing about
the Texas Medical Board on October 23, 2007, Kalafut and Patrick
admitted under oath that they were aware of the conflicts of
interest.
"It seems clear from the sworn testimony before the legislative
committee that they knew about the problems and had done what they
could to hide them," said Dr. Orient.
The lawsuit demands that the Court put an immediate stop to
abuses by the Board, and that previous disciplinary actions tainted
by the Board's violations be re-opened.
"Doctors in Texas should not be forced to practice in this
atmosphere of fear and intimidation," said Dr. Orient. "Complaints
from our members have identified the TMB as probably the worst in
the country. It's bad for patients when their doctors are afraid
that doing the right thing could result in licensure action."
NOTE: AAPS is a non-profit, professional association of
physicians in all specialties, dedicated since 1943 to protection of
the patient-physician relationship. It accepts no corporate or
government funding, and its board members and officers serve without
compensation.

West Virginia Medical Board changes its' Rules
Again 10/09/2007
NEW! 10/09/07-
MedLicense.com has obtained a copy of the ruling letter which WV is
sending out to its' Physicians which are applying to the West
Virginia Medical Board under their Reciprocity Rules. West Virginia
has ruled that it was incorrectly applying its' rules to the Puerto
Rico Medical Examination. You can review the letter by
clicking here.
West Virginia
Examination Ruling Letter
The West Virginia Medical Board has revised its' rules again
concerning Physician applying to West Virginia whom have only taken
the Puerto Rico Medical Examination. May 2007, the Medical
Board of West Virginia ruled that only applicants who had taken the
examination in English would be eligible for licensure. As of
September 2007, they are no longer accepting the Puerto Rico Medical
Examination for those applicants who took the examination in
English. The reason for this change according to the West Virginia
Medical Board is that, "The examination offers both Spanish and
English side by side". Because of this, all applicants who meet the
English Requirement through the Puerto Rico Medical Exam and
currently have pending applications will not be able to obtain the
West Virginia Medical License. The ruling is retroactive to all
pending applications.
Nevada Medical Board - Applying by Endorsement
12/31/2007
Per a conversation with an Analyst at the Nevada
Medical Board, the "peer review" option via Endorsement Applications
has been discontinued. Due to this change this leaves only two
options for "older" physicians who have not been Board Certified
within the past 10 years. They must either re-certified with their
Boards or take and pass the SPEX examination.
