Board /Ohio Board of Medicine
The Ohio Medical Board on paper would seem to
have one of the most streamlined and simple licensing processes in
the Nation. Unfortunately for those physicians who apply to Ohio
this is not the case. Why? Because the Ohio Board of Medicine
mandates the use of FCVS to verify a physician's Medical School
and Post Graduate Training. FCVS typically takes 3 to 6 months
to set up a packet for Domestic Graduates and 3 to 12 months for
International Graduates. One top of this, Ohio does not offer a temporary
license to those Physicians who medical license application is
complete with the exception of the FCVS packet. So if
Physician has a job offer, then he or she is going to be sitting
idle for 3 to 8 months while waiting for FCVS to complete their
task.
Here are the general requirements for the Ohio
Medical License:
| All Applicants: |
| 1 - FCVS Packet
|
| 2 - CLAF Application through FSMB
|
| 3 -
Two Physician Reference Forms
|
| 4 - AMA Physician profile |
| 5 - Malpractice Insurance Applications
if Malpractice suits are present |
| 6 - State License Applications |
|
|
MedLicense.com typically has a 3.5 to 6 month licensing period for
Ohio. Once the files are deemed complete by the Ohio Medical
Board, the medical license is typically issued within 2 to 3 weeks.
