Board /Michigan Board of Medicine
The Michigan Medical Board is the only State Medical Board
which offers true reciprocity. All others offer what is called
"endorsement". Endorsement is based on your examinations and
active status with other State Medical Boards. With Endorsement,
all credentials typically have to be re-verified. With
Reciprocity, this is not the case. Reciprocity is offered by
Michigan to any physician who has held a license to practice
medicine for 10 or more years in the United States and Puerto
Rico. They will only require the physician to verify all past
and present Physician Medical Licenses.

The Michigan Medical Board does not have a 10 year rule concerning Board
Examinations and Board Certification. This means that the SPEX requirement
is not in effect. There is not a interview requirement as with other State
Medical Boards. Michigan does not have a limit on the number of attempts
concerning the USMLE. The Michigan Medical Board does not have a limit on
the number of years to complete /pass all three steps of the USMLE. There
is a 5 years rule that applies to passing the Step 3 only. A Physician has
to pass the Step 3 of the USMLE within 5 years of the first attempt of the
Step 3. The Michigan Board of Medicine does not offer a temporary license.
The only real issue with Michigan is that they have a very slow
internal mail system. It takes 3 to 5 weeks for mail to be processed and
placed in your file. This means that any certification sent to the Michigan
Medical Board will not show in your file for 3 to 5 weeks after it is
sent. This artificially delays the licensing process. Once the file is
deemed complete, then the Michigan Medical Board issues the licenses right
away if no problems persist.
