Medical Doctor/ DO Application Phases and Timeline
|
Phase I
Current Timeframe:
2 weeks
|
Phase I is the estimated time between receipt of a completed application (online or paper) and the Board's initial review of the application and supplemental documentation. At the conclusion of Phase I, the Board will email you instructions to complete your fingerprints for the background check, and advise you of any application deficiencies.
|
Phase II
Current Timeframe:
8-12 weeks |
Phase II is the estimated time between Phase I and the receipt of your background check results and any remaining application deficiencies. Background check results are provided to the board by our vendor an average 1-3 weeks from the date of your fingerprint appointment. Please note Phase II is contingent on applicant action and third party processing times. The estimated timeframe assumes the applicant takes immediate action when notified of application deficiencies.
|
Phase III
Current Timeframe:
1 week
|
Phase III is the estimated time between Phase II and when the application is approved. Please note, applications with criminal history or requiring additional board review will add an additional 4-6 weeks to Phase III. Upon approval of your application, a congratulations letter and license fee invoice will be emailed to the address provided on your initial application. Once the license fee is paid, your license number will be issued. You will receive a hard copy of your license in the mail within 10-15 business days.
