TEMPORARY LICENSES TO INTERNS AND RESIDENTS IN HOSPITALS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS
(§ 54.1-2937)

Upon recommendation by the chief of an approved internship or residency program
as defined in this chapter, the Board may issue a temporary annual license to
practice medicine, osteopathic medicine, or podiatry to interns and residents in
such programs. No such license shall be issued to an intern or resident who has
not completed successfully the preliminary academic education required for
admission to examinations given by the Board in his particular field of
practice. Such license shall expire upon the holder&#8217;s withdrawal or
termination from the internship or residency program. The Board may prescribe
such regulations not in conflict with existing law and require such reports from
hospitals or other organizations operating an approved graduate medical
education program in the Commonwealth as may be necessary to carry out the
provisions of this section.
