licensure. A. Endorsement of licensed applicants: The State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision may issue a license by endorsement to an applicant who: 1. Has complied with all current medical licensure requirements except those for examination; and 2. Has passed a medical licensure examination given in English in another state, the District of Columbia, a territory or possession of the United States, or Canada, or has passed the National Boards Examination administered by the National Board of Medical Examiners, provided the Board determines that such examination was equivalent to the Board's examination used at the time of application. B. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Oklahoma Allopathic Medical and Surgical Licensure and Supervision Act, the Board may require applicants for full and unrestricted medical licensure by endorsement, who have not been formally tested by another state or territory of the United States or any Canadian medical licensure jurisdiction, a Board-approved medical certification agency, or a Board-approved medical specialty board within a specific period of time before application to pass a written and/or oral medical examination approved by the Board. C. The Board may authorize the secretary to issue a temporary medical license for the intervals between Board meetings. A temporary license shall be granted only when the secretary is satisfied as to the qualifications of the applicant to be licensed under the Oklahoma Allopathic Medical and Surgical Licensure and Supervision Act but where such qualifications have not been verified to the Board. A temporary license shall: 1. Be granted only to an applicant demonstrably qualified for a full and unrestricted medical license under the requirements set by the Oklahoma Allopathic Medical and Surgical Licensure and Supervision Act and the rules of the Board; and 2. Automatically terminate on the date of the next Board meeting at which the applicant may be considered for a full and unrestricted medical license. D. The Board authorizes the issuance of conditional, restricted, or otherwise circumscribed licenses, or issuance of licenses under terms of agreement, for all licenses under its jurisdiction as are necessary for the public health, safety, and welfare. E. The Board may issue a temporary license to any of the professions under the jurisdiction of the Board based on defined qualifications set by each advisory committee of the profession.
