2006 Minnesota Statutes

147.0391 RESIDENCY PERMIT.
    Subdivision 1. Permit required. A person must have a residency permit to participate in a
residency program unless licensed by the board. Upon issuance of a license by the board, the board
will terminate a residency permit. A person must have a license to practice medicine to practice
outside of a residency program, except as set forth in section 147.09. An applicant for a residency
permit must pay a $20 nonrefundable fee upon initial application and upon a change in residency
program a lesser nonrefundable fee set by the board in such amount that is necessary to cover
administrative costs incurred by the board. The applicant must also have been accepted into either:
(1) a graduate medical education program accredited by a national accrediting organization
approved by the board; or
(2) other nonaccredited graduate training approved by the board as meeting standards
comparable to those of a national accrediting organization.
The approvals required by clauses (1) and (2) must have been granted by the board before
the applicant enrolls in the training.
    Subd. 2. Terminating participation in residency program. Upon a change in residency
programs, a person holding a residency permit must notify the board in writing no later than 30
days after termination of participation in the residency program being terminated. A separate
residency permit is required for each residency program until licensure is obtained.
    Subd. 3. Reporting obligation. A person holding a residency permit and faculty of residency
programs are subject to the reporting obligations of section 147.111. The intent of this subdivision
is not to replace routine academic corrective action undertaken by a residency training program.
