To be considered for a license by endorsement, a physician: (a)(A) Must have practiced the physicians specialty, if any, for at least one year immediately preceding the date of the physicians application for licensure by endorsement; or (B) If the physician is retired, must have been retired for one year or less; (b) May not have been subject to discipline by a health professional regulatory board in any state in which the physician has been licensed; and (c) May not have been held liable for a significant malpractice claim as defined by the board by rule. (2) The licensing process implemented by the board must require the board to: (a) Use existing databases to verify application information; and (b) Accept documents from the state in which the applicant was first licensed as a physician as equivalent to primary source documents to verify: (A) Medical education; (B) National medical examination scores; (C) Post-graduate training, if applicable; and (D) Other qualifications as provided by rule of the board.
